A) lies below then the marginal social cost curve.

B) lies above the marginal social cost curve.

C) lies below the horizontal axis.

D) is the same as the marginal external cost curve.

E) is undefined because the firms’ costs are not equal to the social costs.

C) the general public does not care about external costs.

D) external costs are not a political issue.
