Hi there! The Answer is C.

Explanation:

Being one of many suppliers of eggs to retail customers, Puredairy faces a lot of competition. As the buyers have a lot of choice between sellers, they are likely to switch suppliers if Puredairy increases prices, giving the buyers power to switch buyers when needed. Puredairy can also establish higher switching costs to recover losses though this may be a disincentive for buyers to choose Puredairy as their supplier in favour of another seller with lower switching costs.
