Professor Camara is trying to write a Game Theory question for the ECON 351 final exam. He would like to construct an example of a Prisoner's Dilemma game. He came up with the following table containing the possible actions and payoffs of players 1 and 2. However, he is having a hard time trying to choose a payoff x for each player when both players play "confess". For this game to be a good example of a Prisoner's Dilemma game, the missing payoff x of each player should be Player 2 Not Confess Confess Confess х 8 " 30 18 " Player 1 Not 18 30 25 25 " Confess (A) x = -10 (B) x = -5 (C) x = 5 (D) x = 15 (E) x = 20
