  • A Increasing returns to scale
  • B Diminishing average returns
  • C Decreasing marginal returns
  • D Decreasing average fixed cost
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
In the long run, when all inputs under the control of the firm are variable, there is no fixed cost and thus no average fixed cost. Instead long-run average cost is affected by increasing and decreasing returns to scale, which translates into economies of scale and diseconomies of scale.
