B) The marginal cost of producing additional units of the same product remains constant as the resources needed to create the final output achieve a balanced level of scarcity.
C) The marginal cost of producing additional units of the same product eventually decreases at a decreasing rate as the resources needed to create the final output become decreasingly less scarce.
D) Because not all resources are equally adapted to alternative uses, the marginal cost of producing additional units of the same product increases; so, as consecutive units of the same item are produced, the extra cost of each additional unit increases.
E) Either answer "a" or "c" is correct.
