Answer: В.  The high prices attract other sellers to enter the market and the competition lowers the prices.

Explanation:

A market economy has many firms selling the same products. These firms will therefore have to reduce their prices in order to attract customers so that they can sell more than their competition.

It is for this reason that high prices do not exist in market economies. The only time prices are high is when a product is introduced for the first time. The firm will charge higher but when other firms see this, they will introduce similar products in order to benefit from this and in effect drive down the price.
