Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
In long-run equilibrium, a monopolistically competitive firm will have MR = MC, indicating profit-maximizing output level. However, due to product differentiation and lack of perfect competition, it can charge a price (P) above the minimum ATC, unlike in perfect competition where P = minimum ATC in the long run.
