 D. may be legal if the firm can prove that different prices were set based on different costs.

Price discrimination refers to the practice where a company sells the same product to different buyers at different prices. This practice is not inherently illegal and can be legal in certain circumstances. One such circumstance is if the firm can demonstrate that the different prices are justified by different costs involved in selling the product to different customers. This could involve variations in manufacturing costs, delivery costs, the volume of the sale, or any number of cost-based justifications.
