D1 is the demand curve that represents a monopolistic competitive firm earning zero long run economic profit, because in long run, for such a firm, price equals ATC, that is, demand curve intersects ATC curve to the left of its minimum point (that explains existence of excess capacity).
D2 intersects MC and ATC at their lowest points which violates the condition of excess capacity, and D3 is a horizontal demand curve that is applicable to a perfectly competitive firm, while a monopolistic competitive firm faces a downward sloping demand curve.

2) Why is the firm’s demand curve flatter than the total market demand curve in monopolistic competition? Suppose a monopolistically competitive firm is making a profit in the short run. What will happen to its demand curve in long run equilibrium ? What could this firm do to affect what happens to its demand curve? Explain in detail.
