Analyzing Bala's Best Response
Two farmers, Anil and Bala, must independently decide which crop to grow. The table below shows a portion of the game's payoff matrix, where the first number in each pair is Anil's payoff and the second is Bala's payoff.
| Bala's Choice | Anil chooses Cassava |
|---|---|
| Rice | (6, 6) |
| Cassava | (3, 2) |
Assuming Anil has chosen to grow Cassava, identify Bala's best response and explain your reasoning based on the payoffs in the table.

Analyzing a Change in Payoffs
A farmer, Bala, must decide which crop to grow, knowing that another farmer, Anil, has already chosen to grow Cassava. The table shows the outcomes (payoffs) for both, with the format being (Anil's payoff, Bala's payoff). Match each concept from the decision-making process to its corresponding value or description in this specific scenario.
