Hello! I’m doing okay kind of tired how are you?
Hi. sorry, not trying to take away points, but I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a question, or a statement?
D is the answer. Carlos is paying and has a operational format, logo, and recipes.
Answer: b. No, because the state acted as a market participant
Explanation:
The state in this instance was a market participant because they were acting as buyers who were looking for companies that could supply the service of exploiting their gas fields.
As a result, they have total discretion to pick whichever supplier they choose, regardless of the benefits or lack thereof, much like a normal buyer would do. The interstate company would therefore lose the case.
