P

prevent

Because firms can enter and exit costlessly, no single firm can prevent another firm from entering nor would it make any sense to do so because there are numerous competitors anyway in perfectly competitive markets and all of them have to sell at the market price. So there is no incentive to take aggressive action, such as price-cutting, against competitors.
