    Answer: Option (c) is correct.

    Explanation:

    There are two types of externality:

    (a) Positive externality

    (b) Negative Externality

    Externality refers to a cost or benefit to a person from the actions or activities of other person.

    If a set of actions decreases the utility of the third person who is not included in the activity then it is a negative externality.

    If a set of actions increases the utility of the third person who is not included in the activity then it is a Positive externality.
