Exclusive dealings restrict the ability of the buyer to deal with competitors, while tying arrangements require the buyer to purchase an additional product in order to buy the first. Price discrimination is a practice of charging different prices to different customers based on their willingness to pay. Therefore, option A and E are incorrect. Option B is incorrect as it presents the two concepts in the opposite order. Option C refers to a different concept, which is the practice of bundling products together.
