    C. seems to be the closest to the correct answer.

    C gets close to the analysis that collusion is common in oligopolies as collusion is (illegal) but easier than competition

    A is incorrect as oligopoly has a kinked, not downward sloping curve.

    Oligopoly is a market structure where there are limited options for producers, but there are options. So, B is incorrect.

    There are barriers to entry in both monopolies and oligopolies so D is incorrect.
