The least competitive market structure among the options provided is monopoly. In a monopoly, a single firm dominates the market, has significant control over pricing, and there are high barriers to entry for other firms, leading to reduced competition. In contrast, perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly have varying degrees of competition.
