Local color.

Explanation:

"The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain tells the absurd but fascinating story of a frog that can out-jump any frog in the whole county. The very fact of the absurdity can be seen in the many elements/aspects that the author had employed/added in the story.

When Twain used the customs, traditions of the people in the West during the Gold Rush, added with their manners and languages, he is imbibing in what is known as "local color" in literature. This phrase means the language, traditions and customs, even manners of a particular group of people in a particular place. These aspects gave a distinct feature of the setting and provides a sense of familiarity to the story for the readers.

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).
