Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Marginal utility refers to the additional satisfaction or utility that a consumer receives from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. If total utility is increasing, it means that each additional unit consumed is still providing some level of satisfaction, hence the marginal utility must be positive. Negative marginal utility would imply that consuming an additional unit decreases total utility, which contradicts the premise.
