    a.$4

    Explanation:

    initial price of fish dinner per piece was = $10

    no. of fish dinner sold = 5

    total initial revenue = 5*10 = $50

    new price of fish dinner = $9

    and now six fish dinners are sold

    new revenue = 6*9 = $54

    therefore the marginal revenue from the sixth dinner sold = 54-50 = $4

    hence option a is correct
