$\text { TABLE 11-2 }$
-Consider an example of the prisoner's dilemma where 2 firms are making sealed bids on a highway- construction contract and each firm is allowed to bid either $100 million or $120 million.If both firms bid the same price,the job is shared equally and each firm earns half the value of its bid.Otherwise the lowest bidder wins the contract and receives the full value of its bid (and the other bidder earns zero) .The non- cooperative outcome in this situation is

A) both firms bid $60 million.
B) both firms bid $100 million.
C) both firms bid $50 million.
D) one firm bids $100 million,the other firm bids $120 million.
E) both firms bid $120 million.
