The correct response is:

**Producers must meet consumer expectations for the price or be forced out of the market by competition because of the open opportunity.**

In a free enterprise system, competition among producers keeps prices low because if one producer charges too much, consumers can easily switch to competitors who offer similar products at lower prices. This competition encourages producers to be efficient and responsive to consumer needs, which helps to maintain reasonable pricing in the market.
