Answer:

All else equal, if there are diminishing returns and constant returns to scale, then what happens to productivity if capital and labor both increase but capital increases by more None of the above are necessary correct because when capital increases more than labor it is possible for the productivity to remain unchanged, and it is also possible for the productivity to increase by small margin.
