supply
producer
seller
demand

Explanation:

The key difference between a pure monopolist and a purely - competitive seller is in how they operate on the supply side. A pure monopolist is the sole supplier and can control quantity supplied and price, while in pure competition, sellers are price - takers and supply decisions are based on market price. The demand side is the same for both as they face the overall market demand. Producers and sellers are related terms but the fundamental difference lies in supply - side behavior.

Answer:

A. supply
