c. consumption and leisure are both normal goods and that the consumer likes diversity in his or her consumption bundles.

Explanation:

A consumer's preference can determine the consumer utility properties between the different periods and can be measured by the tastes and preference by comparing the opportunity costs of that one item when every you buy an item. The consumption and the leisure are both the normal goods hat the consumer likes to have diversity in his consumption patterns and have a utility related to them.
