Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the price of umbrellas when it is raining is not an example of price discrimination. This is simply a response to changes in market conditions and does not involve differentiating prices based on customer characteristics or willingness to pay. The other three statements involve some form of price discrimination, where different prices are charged to different customer groups based on factors like age, gender, or membership status.
