Differentiate between an oligopoly and a monopolistic competition on the basis of the number of firms and the degree of product differentiation

What will be an ideal response?

There are fewer firms in an oligopoly market than in monopolistic competition. There are two categories of oligopoly on the basis of the degree of product differentiation—oligopoly with homogeneous products and oligopoly with differentiated products. All firms in a monopolistic competition produce differentiated products.
