Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Marginal utility refers to the additional satisfaction or utility that a consumer receives from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. When marginal utility is positive, it means that consuming an additional unit of the good or service increases total utility, indicating that total utility is increasing. When marginal utility is zero, it means that consuming an additional unit of the good or service does not change the total utility, indicating that total utility is maximized at that point. When marginal utility is negative, it means that consuming an additional unit of the good or service decreases total utility, indicating that total utility is decreasing. Therefore, all the choices correctly describe the relationship between marginal utility and total utility.

A) positive;increasing
