Correct answer: Businesses must consider what others charge.

Brief explanation:
- Competition forces firms to set prices with awareness of rivals’ prices (to remain competitive, attract customers, or position their product).
- The other statements are false: customers often do compare prices; competition affects many areas besides advertising (product, service, distribution, pricing strategy); and competitors do not control all prices — firms retain some pricing power and can differentiate.
