Answer:

B) the wages received for the fifth day of work.

Marginal benefit is the increment in benefit generated by an increase by one unit of output. In this situation, the marginal benefit is given by difference in wage of working five days a week from the wage of working four days a week. Therefore, the marginal benefit is the wage received for the fifth day of work.
