Deadweight loss remains unchanged since monopolists already produce less than socially optimal quantity.

Deadweight loss decreases as tax revenue can be used for public goods offsetting inefficiency.
D
There is no deadweight loss in either case because both market structures strive toward allocative efficiency.
