Solution

The correct option is C monopoly
A monopoly is a situation where there is only a single seller who sells products which are not close substitutes of each other. There is also a free entry and exit of firms. Owner also has a full control over the prices of the product. Price discrimination is nothing but the situation where there are different prices charged by the seller in different market. Hence, it takes place in a monopoly.
