    The correct answer is C) exhibits constant returns to scale

    Explanation:

    The Cobb-Douglas production function is as follows:

    F (K, L) = A * Kα * Lα-1

    Where:

    A = Total factor productivy K = Capital α = Capital share's of income L = Labor

    This function states that income is divided among the owner's of capital and labor (workers) in similar proportions across time. Like the fundamental production function F (K, L) = K * L it has constant returns to scale.

    The property of constant returns to scale establishes that if the factors or production, capital and labor, are increased by a determined proportion, output will increase by the same proportion.
