Answer:

B. The firm will not sell any output.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive industry happens when there are many sellers, the products are the same between sellers and it is easy to enter and leave the market. In this type of industry a company has to take the equilibrium price because the are several firms competing and if it tries to charge even a small amount higher than that, people will not buy anything as they will go with the competition.
