For an antitrust violation to occur, which element must be present?

1. Agreement

2. Coercion

3. Cohesion

4. Commission

The correct answer is: Agreement

An antitrust violation, also known as a competition law violation, is an action that restricts competition and leads to higher prices or diminished quality for consumers. In order for an antitrust violation to occur, there must be an agreement between two or more parties to restrict competition, such as price fixing or market division. Coercion and cohesion may be factors in an antitrust violation, but they alone do not make the violation. The commission, while it may enforce antitrust laws, is not an element of the violation.
