Huricane74 @frants54,
Even if you do not know what "diseconomies of scale mean," you should be able to still be able to identify the correct answer through the process of elimination.
A.) Patents and government licences restricted to a single firm support monopolies.
B.) Controlling an essential natural resource results in a monopoly.
This leaves just C as an option.
