Which of the following is NOT one of the four main market structures?

In the context of market structures, the main types traditionally recognized are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. Each of these structures describes different competitive behaviors and market dynamics.

Perfect competition involves many firms with identical products, making market power negligible. Monopolistic competition features many firms offering differentiated products, allowing them to exert some degree of market power. A monopoly exists when a single firm dominates the market, controlling supply and prices due to the lack of competition.

The term "trade competition" does not fit into these recognized classifications of market structures. It does not describe a specific market condition or structural dynamic in the same way that the other terms do. Therefore, identifying "trade competition" as the one that is not part of the four main market structures is accurate.
