This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Many college basketball programs require alumni to join a booster club before they can buy season tickets. This is an example of:

A. first degree price discrimination.

B. cost-plus pricing.

C. a two-part tariff.

D. block pricing.

This is an example of C. a two-part tariff.

Explanation:

A two-part tariff is a price discrimination technique. When a business uses this technique, it charges a fee for the right to use its product. Later, it also charges for unit usage or consumption. That is precisely the case described. In this situation, people are first required to join a booster club, which already includes paying a fee. Later, they will pay per unit (ticket) used.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
