Solution

The correct option is B law of diminishing marginal utility
The Law of diminishing marginal utility is a law of economics stating that as a person increases consumption of a product while keeping consumption of other products constant, there is a decline in the marginal utility that person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product. This law serves as the basis for the theory of consumer's surplus.
