Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Territorial division among firms in an industry would prevent direct competition among them in a particular area, giving each firm a regional monopoly. This would allow them to set prices and output levels without the risk of being undercut by competitors. Therefore, the price and output behavior would be similar to that of a regional monopoly.
