Each player chooses C in the current round if both players chose C in every previous round. Each player chooses D in the current round if either player chose D in some previous round. (c) If p = 1, is it optimal for each player to use the grim-trigger strategy above given that the other player uses the grim-trigger strategy above? [Hint: compare…
