Solution
The correct option is (b). A firm can sell more quantity of a good only by lowering the price of the good. There is a negative relationship between the price of the good and the demand for the good in a monopoly market. If the average revenue falls, then the marginal revenue also falls but faster than AR and therefore MR < AR.
