Prof. A. Marshall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The law of diminishing marginal utility is a fundamental concept in economics that states that as a consumer acquires more of a good, the additional satisfaction (or utility) that they receive from each additional unit of the good decreases.<\/p>\n<p>The law of diminishing marginal utility was first proposed by Alfred Marshall in his 1890 book, Principles of Economics. Marshall argued that the law of diminishing marginal utility was a fundamental principle of human nature, and that it could be used to explain a wide range of economic phenomena.<\/p>\n<p>The law of diminishing marginal utility has a number of important implications for economic theory. For example, it can be used to explain why consumers are willing to pay more for the first unit of a good than they are for subsequent units. It can also be used to explain why firms produce a variety of goods, rather than just one good.<\/p>\n<p>The law of diminishing marginal utility is a powerful tool for understanding economic behavior. It is a fundamental concept that is used in a wide range of economic models.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A is incorrect because Paul Samuelson was a Nobel Prize-winning economist who lived from <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> 1915 to 2009.
