Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
If Irene enters the market and Mattie's decides to accommodate Irene, they would share the profits equally, resulting in 5 million in profits for Mattie's Dairy in equilibrium. Fighting would result in a loss for both, so the rational choice for Mattie's is to share the market.
