Markets can vary widely based on key characteristics, such as barriers to entry and exit.

This characteristic influences how easily new competitors can enter a market and how easily existing firms can leave, which in turn affects market competition, pricing, and the overall market structure. The other options, while relevant to consumer behavior and economic models, do not categorize markets themselves in the same way.
