Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The minimum acceptable price for a particular unit of a good for a producer is their marginal cost of producing that unit. This is because if the price they receive for selling that unit is below the marginal cost, then the producer would incur losses on that unit. Therefore, they will only produce a particular unit of a good if they can sell it at a price that is equal to or greater than its marginal cost.
