Under a free market, the response that would most likely happen is:

individual business owners set prices to compete for business.

In a free market, prices are typically determined by supply and demand, and individual businesses have the freedom to set their prices based on competition. The other options involve government intervention or influence, which is contrary to the principles of a free market.
