Which term means the act of competing with others for profit or a prize?

• A. Neutral
• B. Francophone
• C. Competition
• D. Conflict

Answer: (C)

Competition is the act of competing with others for profit or a prize. It describes when people or businesses try to outperform each other to gain the best outcome, like winning customers or earning more money. This idea is central in economies because when rivals push to improve products, lower prices, or offer better service, it helps drive progress and benefits consumers.

The other terms don’t fit the situation. Neutral means not taking sides or not affecting outcomes; Francophone refers to French-speaking people or communities; conflict means a fight or serious disagreement, not the idea of striving to win a reward.
