The fourth pricing practice that is closely scrutinized is price discrimination. Price discrimination involves charging different prices to different customers for the same product or service, without any difference in the cost to the seller. This practice may be illegal if it discriminates against a protected class or if it harms competition. It is closely monitored to ensure it is not being used to engage in unfair or discriminatory practices. The other options listed either do not accurately describe a pricing practice or are not typically scrutinized for unethical or illegal actions.
