Answer:
a.) Long-run earnings growth occurs primarily because firms retain earnings and reinvest them in the business.
Explanation:
Retained earnings are portions of a firm's net income that is plowed back into the business. For example if it makes a net income of $2,000,000 and it pays out 30% of that as dividends, the dividends in dollars would be 0.30*2,000,000 = $600,000. The remaining portion i.e 70% is retained back into the company, hence the amount would be 0.70*2,000,000 = $1,400,000.
This retained amount could be used to invest in potential profitable businesses that will result in increase in shareholder value. In a nutshell, the higher percentage of retained earnings the higher the growth rate a company will experience.

Letter b is correct.<em> A monopolistically competitive firm faces competition from firms producing close substitutes.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Monopolistic competition</u> is an economic situation that occurs when companies exhibit imperfect competition, that is, companies market similar but not identical products, which characterize them as substitute but not perfect substitute products.
Products may have different variables, such as quality, price and reputation in the market. The greater the degree of product differentiation, the more price control the company will have.
