The answer is B bcos diminishing returns can occur in both big and small firms.If the manager or management is not rational or creative enough to know when to set in expansion,marginal variables or input will not guarantee marginal output or revenue.Diminishing returns means the exact process or situation whereby added or marginal variables or inputs yields constant or less outputs instead of economics of scale.

The ansa is perfectly B, cos when there is a big expansion there is surely diminishing return and this builds up a small Firm . A small firm is known as the process which a particular buisness is owned by a person or an individual and makes small amount of money from the buisness.....

Take 4 instance, if a large/xpand firm want to print banner for invitation, its charge will collocate wit d number t be printed, d higher d no d lesser d averge charge n vice versa. Similar tins occurs in d average cost of production. B is d ansa nt becos xpansion leads t deminishing return bt bcos it does nt. Williams3093 2go
