Final Answer : A, Explanation :  In economic theory, a firm will find it profitable to increase production as long as the marginal cost (the cost of producing one additional unit) is less than the marginal revenue (the revenue from selling that additional unit). This is because the firm is adding more to its revenue than it is adding to its costs, thereby increasing profit.
