B) Bob's demand to be less elastic, and the corn-snack industry is likely to be a monopoly industry.
C) the corn-snack industry demand to be less elastic, and Bob's demand was unaffected.
D) the corn-snack industry to become a monopoly, whereas prior to advertising, it was probably perfectly competitive.
E) Bob's demand to be less elastic, and the corn-snack industry is likely to be a monopolistically competitive industry.
