Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Frank picking B represents a competitive choice because it aims to maximize his own payoff potentially at the expense of Dinah's, aligning with the competitive nature of seeking a higher individual gain ($4) if Dinah chooses A, contrasting the cooperative or mutual benefit approach of both choosing A.
