Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
CableNorth's decision to lower prices in response to CableSouth's low-price strategy is an example of a tit-for-tat strategy, where a firm matches the action of its competitor. This is not a kinked demand model as it does not involve a specific price point at which demand is more or less elastic, nor is it a dominant strategy as it is not the best option regardless of what the competitor does. It is also not a collusive strategy as the firms are not cooperating to maximize profits.
