Jaskaran Pattar · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Consumers are limited by their budget constraints, which restrict the amount of goods they can purchase before reaching a point where the marginal utility of a good falls to zero. This means they often stop consuming more of a good because they either run out of money or choose to spend their remaining money on other goods that provide higher utility.
