Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
According to the table, the total individual benefit for hiring one animal control officer is $30, while the cost is $40. This means that an individual resident would have a net loss of $10 if they were to hire one officer. Therefore, it would not make financial sense for an individual to hire any animal control officers on their own. The answer is A) 0.
