Answer:

B

Explanation:

Horizontal mergers are closely monitored by the government to

prevent a monopoly from being created when the companies merge.

Huge benefits can be gained by the merged companies when a

competitor disappears from the same market and for the consumer the

prices are driven upwards, which can be bad news.
