Q1) In the perfect competition, all products are identical so no labels are put while in monopolistic competition the products are differentiated so labels are put so option 1 is incorrect. Both competitions have large number of buyers and sellers so option 2 is correct that there are numerous competitors. In short run, both competitions can have supernormal profits so option 3 is incorrect. In perfect competition there are no barriers to entry or exit while in monopolistic, there are a few, so option 4 is also incorrect.
Q2) Monopoly, oligopoly and natural monopoly have very high barriers to entry either man made or those occurring naturally while monopolistic competition has a large number of buyers and sellers and therefore the barriers to entry and exist are lower in comparison, therefore it is easier to enter or exit the same so option 3 is correct.
