Concept:A monopolist is the only seller in the market, so the demand curve for the monopolist is the same as the market demand curve.
Explanation:Under monopoly, the firm has market power, meaning it can set its price.
To sell a larger quantity, the monopolist must lower the price.
This inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded makes the demand curve slope downward from left to right.
The downward slope also reflects the law of diminishing marginal utility and the fact that consumers will buy more only at lower prices.
Therefore, the demand curve faced by a monopolist is downward sloping.
Answer:Downward sloping. (Option C)
