Answer:

C) consumers behave rationally, attempting to maximize their satisfaction.

Explanation:

Utility maximization is one of the most basic economic concepts and it is one of the pillars of capitalism. Resources are limited, even the richest person in the world has X amount of money, he/she cannot own all the money and other resources available. Therefore, when individuals are making choices about what products to consume;

  • they will rank their preferences, e.g. if you are starving, you will first buy food before thinking about buying clothes
  • they will behave rationally in order to maximize their satisfaction since they have a limited income.
