Answer: All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Total utility is the total satisfaction that is derived by an economic agent when a particular good or service is being used.

It should be noted that the total utility is at a maximum when the marginal utility is zero. It also falls as long as the marginal utility is negative and rises as long as marginal utility is positive.

This shows that all the above options are correct.
