In a game, two or more decision takers know that their decisions are :
Strategically interdependent
Game theory studies situations in which the outcome for each decision maker depends not only on his own choice but also on the choices of the others. Each player therefore has to anticipate how rivals will act and react before deciding on a strategy.
This mutual dependence of pay-offs on everyone's choices is called strategic interdependence. It is the defining feature of a game, whether it is the prisoners' dilemma, a duopoly price war or an oligopoly bargaining problem, and it is why equilibrium concepts such as the Nash equilibrium are built on each player's best response to the others.
Calling the decisions simply dependant does not capture the two-way, strategic nature of the link. Independent decisions are the opposite of a game situation; under perfect competition or monopoly a firm can ignore rivals' reactions. Mutually inclusive is a term from probability for events that can occur together and does not describe strategic choice.
Strategically interdependent option is correct.
