When we compare economic welfare in a monopoly market to a competitive market, the profits earned by the monopolist represent?

The profits earned by the monopolist represent a transfer of benefits from the consumer to the producer.

The monopoly holds all the power since the customer relies so heavy on them for their product and the customer does not have many options.
