Solution

The correct option is A True
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as a consumer consumes more of the same product in one setting, the satisfaction he/she gains from the product reduces as she consumes more and more of the product. Hence, a rational consumer will stop consuming the product once he/she feels it is causing them dissatisfaction.
