Which of the following accurately depicts the demand curve for a firm in a monopolistic market? d. It is the market demand curve.

A monopoly is a business selling a product or service for which there are no close substitutes. That means that the monopolist faces a downward-sloping demand curve because it is the same as the total market demand. A monopolist still can't sell as much as he wants and charge whatever price he wants, because the consumers still have their say by means of their demand at given prices.
