Answer:
The correct answer is excess capacity.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is characterized by a large number of firms. These firms produce differentiated goods which are not perfect substitutes but are close substitutes. The entry into the market is relatively easier than monopoly. Â These firms are price makers and face a downward-sloping demand curve. They face an excess capacity in the long run as they produce at an output level lower than the low-cost output.
