Final answer:

Horizontal integration reduces competition by consolidating market power among a few firms.


Explanation:

Horizontal integration limited competition by reducing the number of independently owned companies, leading to less competition. When companies agree not to compete, they can collectively increase their profits by dictating terms to suppliers and customers. This can result in market power that restricts competition and can lead to oligopolistic structures in various industries.
