Solution

The correct answer is d. a few retailers supply most of the market.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The question is asking about the characteristics of a concentrated retail system.

  2. The options provided are: a few retailers supply a small segment of the market, there are many retailers who have a major share of the market, there are many retailers, no one of which has a major share of the market, and a few retailers supply most of the market.

  3. In a concentrated retail system, the market is dominated by a small number of retailers. This means that these few retailers control a large portion of the market.

  4. Option a, a few retailers supply a small segment of the market, is incorrect because in a concentrated system, a few retailers control a large, not small, portion of the market.

  5. Option b, there are many retailers who have a major share of the market, is incorrect because in a concentrated system, there are few, not many, retailers who control the market.

  6. Option c, there are many retailers, no one of which has a major share of the market, describes a fragmented retail system, not a concentrated one.

  7. Therefore, the correct answer is option d, a few retailers supply most of the market. This is the definition of a concentrated retail system.
