Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational consumer would keep consuming as long as he continues to derive satisfaction from consuming one more unit of a product..

For example, if you have eaten two hamburgers and you are contemplating whether to consume one more unit of hamburger or not. one of the factors you would consider is if you would derive a marginal benefit from one more consumption. If you would, you would consume one more hamburger and if you would not, you won't consume the hamburger
