Yes, fixed costs are like rent or salaries that stay the same no matter how much we produce.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is a real comedian. They must have been thinking, 'Let's see if they can figure out the difference between fixed and variable costs!' Well, I'm ready for the punchline - D) Fixed costs.

Hmm, I was torn between B) Indirect costs and D) Fixed costs, but I think D) is the correct answer. Fixed costs, like rent and insurance, stay the same regardless of how much you produce.
