If a monopolist is confronted with economic losses in the short run, it will decide whether or not to produce by comparing price and minimum average variable cost, because if the price is below minimum average variable cost, then he can't even cover its variable costs, so he should shut down.
So, the right answer is c) price and minimum average variable cost.
