    The correct answer is option c.

    Explanation:

    Country A and country B are the same. But country A has more capital than country B. Both the countries increase their capital by 100 units while other factors are constant.

    This increase in capital will cause the output of country B to increase more than output in country A. This happens because of the law of diminishing marginal returns.

    Law of diminishing marginal returns states that as the number of inputs employed the return from each input goes on declining. As country A possesses more capital, the return from the capital will be fewer. So the increase in output will also be relatively less.
