Answer:
Given that Mattie could convincingly threaten to always fight, Irene's best response would be:
d.  ​ Enter
Explanation:
Irene Dairy should enter the market despite Mattie's threat to always fight. Â If Irene Dairy does not enter the market out of fear of Mattie's threat to fight, other firms are likely to enter and share the market with Mattie. Â Mattie should never be given the privileges of a monopolist. Irene Dairy should ensure that its ice creams are of higher quality and sustain the fight with Mattie, which cannot forever shed its profits in the name of fighting a competitor.
