Answer

New firms will enter a monopolistically competitive market if: d) price is greater than average total cost

Work Step by Step

Following this logic, new firms will enter a monopolistically competitive market only if they manage to charge a price higher then the average total cost. Only if they manage to do will they be profitable.
