Dependence would be low when E) "The goods have substitutes"
Explanation:
Why would dependence be lower when they have substitutes. Well basically because they could be obtained elsewhere in different formats. Imagine the following scheme. I am a producer of cherry candies, but I don't have the patent on them so anyone could sell cherry candies. Because they could be obtained from different sources it is difficult my candies can develop a dependence on them because I am not the only source people have to obtain them.
