Question 26

Answer 1

The soda market is best indicated by an **Oligopoly**. This is characterized by a small number of firms that dominate the market, such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, which significantly influence pricing and product offerings. In an oligopoly, firms often compete on factors other than price (like marketing and branding) and may also engage in collusion.
