Suppose in the market of organic tea, there are only a few producers and the rivalry among these producers shows a higher concentration of HHI, that is, a higher level of intensity. This situation is most likely to occur when:

1) Sellers' supply grows at a higher rate and buyers' demand grows at a slower rate with almost equal size of each firm.

2)  Buyer's demand grows at a slow pace and there are only 6-10 competitors in the industry with equal firm size. 

3)Sellers' supply grows at a slower rate and buyers' demand grows at a higher rate with the unequal size of each firm.

4)Buyer's demand grows at a higher pace and there are only 6-10 competitors in the industry with the unequal firm size.
