    a.) coolaire is engaged in predatory pricing

    Explanation:

    Predatory pricing is setting the price of a good or service very low with the motive of sending competitors out of the market or preventing new competitors from entering the market or gaining new customers.

    Coolaire cuts its price below its cost of production when Chillbox entered the market most likely with the intent to chase Chillbox out of the market. This is predatory pricing.
