Solution
The correct option is C Zero 1:When total utility becomes maximum, then the marginal utility will be Zero. 2:It is based in the law of diminishing marginal utility which says 'as more and more units of a good are consumed, MU i.e level of satisfaction derived from each successive unit goes on falling because the desire for that commodity tends to fall.
