Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income will value each additional dollar less than the previous one. As a result, they will be risk-averse and prefer a certain outcome with a known amount of income instead of taking a gamble with the potential for higher income but also the potential for lower income.
