Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The marginal cost refers to the additional cost incurred to produce or, in this case, complete an additional part of a project or product. Here, the marginal cost of completing the costume, after the initial $40 has been spent, is the extra $25 needed for the additional pieces.
