I'm pretty sure C) is the correct answer. As the firm produces more, the additional input required to produce each extra unit leads to higher average costs. Basic economics, really.

I was a bit confused between B) Rising unit costs and C) Diminishing marginal returns, but I agree that C) is the better choice. The law of diminishing returns definitely explains the rise in average costs.

Hmm, I think C) Diminishing marginal returns is the correct answer. As the firm produces more, it's natural for the average costs to rise in the short run due to this phenomenon.
