Haha, if price-makers bought high and sold low, they'd be out of business in no time. That's not how it works!

Hmm, that makes sense. Price-takers are the ones who have to accept the prices offered to them.

Option C seems a bit off to me. Isn't it the other way around for price-takers? They buy high and sell low, right?
