D. all barriers to entry

**Explanation**:
Patents, control of resources, economies of scale, and exclusive licenses all prevent or limit new competitors from entering a market.
- **Patents** grant legal exclusivity.
- **Control of resources** restricts access to critical inputs.
- **Economies of scale** give cost advantages to large firms, deterring smaller entrants.
- **Exclusive licenses** legally block competition.

These are classic **barriers to entry** (Option D), not requirements for price discrimination (A), conditions for short-run profits (B), or sources of elastic demand (C).
