Respuesta :

Answer:

They will simply neutralize one another's efforts

Explanation:

The key is in "attracting consumers away from the other."  Because there's already a given set of consumers, the advertising tactics of the two duopolistic firms will end up in a loss in some customers and a gain in others. This is a zero-sum game, and a neutralization of each other's efforts.
