The correct answer is a) produce less output and charge a higher price

Compared to an efficiently perfectly competitive industry, a monopolist will produce less output and charge a higher price.

A monopolist is a single seller in the market, and thus has full control over the market. A monopolist can easily reduce its output and raise the prices in order to earn super-normal profits.
