Solution

The correct option is D falling and lying below AP
Marginal Product is the defined as the change in total product resulting from one additional unit of a variable factor. When MP falls below the value of AP, it will have the effect of dragging it down as if you take a lower number and add it to the average and then take a new average, the new average has to be lower than the previous average.
