In the short run, a monopolist will:?

C.  He'll produce at anything above AVC because even if he sells at a loss, he'll recoup something to pay the fixed costs.  If price < AVC, though, each unit, the loss increases and there's no point in producing at all.

false, a lower price for the product will not change the breakeven point, but rather change the profit margin

depends on the comapany

market theory suggests shorting a stock (selling a stock not owned with the expectation it can be purchased in the future at a price lower than for which it was sold) in substantial enough quantities creates a temporary imbalance in the supply/demand equilibrium, requiring a lower price to attract buyers to return the stock to a new, but lower s/d equilibrium price.  This is a short run phenomenon for liquid stocks.  It should be noted that stocks with substantial uncovered open short interest are actually less resistant to price drops.

In a multi-firm oligopoly (one of the few situations where it would matter), yes, this is the case.  Then the firms can both charge the higher price and make more profit as the expense of the consumer.

Yes, because a small change in price will affect demand more.  If a product is inelastic, then the firm can charge just about anything and the demand will stay the same.

Monopolists function by controlling an entire market.  There are many anti-monopoly laws, but they are not very effective.  Corporations are finding loopholes and ways around them all the time.

Whatever it says it means! (LOL) Read the axes of the graph. It could be price against time, maybe?

Truly the correct answer to that question is whatever the market will bear. ;)

None. Whilst it may be painful in the short/medium term, the more the merrier, I say.

Yes, I read in the WSJ that there will be one coming soon.  Unfortunately, it will be too inflated initially to get in.  I suggest you hold off -

Depends what kind of "profit"

One word: GREED. Simple as that.
