Answer:

B. The marginal social benefit from healthcare exceeds the willingness and ability to pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

(Healthcare creates social benefits for the society so the marginal social benefit from healthcare is greater than the willingness and ability to pay for it as willingness to pay does not account for the external benefits of the healthcare.)
