Answer:
The correct answer is option B.
Explanation:
An oligopoly is a market structure in which there are few firms which are interdependent on each other such that price and output decisions of a firm affect other firms in the market. There is a high degree of competition in the market.
Firms in an oligopoly market can maximize profits by forming formal or informal collusion and reducing output level and increasing price.
Though such cartels are generally short-lived as each firm has the incentive to earn higher by not cooperating. The cartel will not be successful if there are other firms in the market which are not a member of the cartel.
A cartel will have a longer life if all the firms in the market are its market and the cartel has strict control on its members and ability to punish cheaters.

Answer:
President Andrew Jackson responded to this decision by <em><u>ignoring the ruling and allowing Georgia to evict the Cherokee Nation</u></em>.
Explanation:
The 1832 Supreme Court case of Worcester v. Georgia was a result of the state of Georgia mandating the 'white' missionaries to take permission and pledge allegiance to the state before they venture into the Cherokee nation/ settlements. This would become the turning point for the removal of the native Indians from their homes later.
When the state of Georgia tried to impose laws even to the Cherokee territories, white missionaries like Samuel A. Worcester advised the Indians to oppose such actions. The Indians are an autonomous nation and were not under any obligation to be under any law imposed by the government. When the Cherokee people refused to imply with the new law, which also included the missionaries to take permission from the state government and also to pledge allegiance to the state, the case was taken to the Supreme Court.
The court also ruled in favor of Worcester and the Cherokee nation, stating that the Georgia government has no power to impose any rules over the autonomous Indian territory. It was then that President Andrew Jackson refused to comply with the ruling and allowed Georgia to continue with its attempts to 'disrupt' the Cherokee people. This will eventually lead to what will be known as the Trail of Tears, which was a major removal of the Indian people from their lands.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
