In a zero-sum game,

Correct answer: A. there is no point in communication or cooperation between the players because their interests are diametrically opposed

  • A. there is no point in communication or cooperation between the players because their interests are diametrically opposed
  • B. communication between players is rare because their interests are already in sync
  • C. there is no point in communication or cooperation between the players because their interests are already in sync
  • D. coordination of moves can maximize the total payoff to the players

Explanation

In a zero-sum game, one player's gain equals another's loss, so the players have directly opposed interests and cannot increase their combined payoff through cooperation. Coordination may still have tactical value, but option d describes a non-zero-sum situation.
