Answer: Minimum average total

Step-by-step explanation:

In the long run, all costs are variable so the firm will be able to adjust its costs in such a way that it will be producing at the lowest possible average total cost in order to minimize its cost.

In such a market, economic profit will not be made because more firms will keep coming into the market if there are economic profits till the profits are eventually brought down to zero.
