Self-test on dominant strategies, dominated strategies, and Nash equilibrium

GAME 1

                                         Column
                                    Left         Right
                   Up              -1,-1        -10,0
 Row                                         
                   Down            0,-10         -8,-8

1_2 Which of the following is true?
A. Column has no dominated strategies.
B. Column's strategy of Left is dominated.
C. Column's strategy of Right is dominated.

C. Incorrect. If Row chooses Up, then Column ought to choose Right, for 0 instead of -1, so Right is not dominated.
