Solution

The correct option is B U shaped
There are a number of characteristics and assumptions which are taken into account when applying the indifference curve analysis. It is because of these properties we are able to use the indifference curve in a productive manner. An indifference curve can never be U shaped because the consumer would have multiple points with various levels of utility.
