Answer 1

A monopoly violates a consumer’s right to choose primarily because "it limits the consumer’s product alternatives." In a monopoly, there is only one provider of a particular good or service, which restricts competition and reduces options available to consumers, thereby limiting their ability to make choices based on preference, price, or quality.
