Solution

The correct option is A the factors have been combined in wrong proportions
The law of diminishing returns states that as one input variable is increased, there is a point at which the marginal increase in output begins to decrease, holding all other inputs constant.
This does not mean that output decreases; output begins to increase at a decreasing rate for each additional unit of input.
