Correct Option: C

The short-run equilibrium output for a monopolist is determined by the intersection of the marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR) curves.

  • A monopolist maximizes profit where marginal cost equals marginal revenue (MC = MR).
  • At this point, the monopolist decides on the quantity to produce. The price is determined by the demand curve at that quantity.
