What specific actions did hammurabi take in his attempt to provide for the good order of society and the basic welfare of his subjects?

Hammurabi[a] (1810 BC –  1750 BC) was the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty.

He is known for having enacted the Hammurabi Code, which is one of the first written law codes in history, which is kept nowadays in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Almost half of the code was dedicated to contract matters, one third of the code to regulate households and family relationships. It also contains provisions of the responsibilities of officials and some which regulate the behaviour at the military service.

The code contained a scale of punishments which adapted the "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" mechanism. It also introduced principles such as the presumption of innocence.

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
