Consider a market in equilibrium. At the equilibrium quantity, the marginal benefit to the consumer is less than the marginal social cost of production. In this situation: A. total economic situation would rise if production were reduced below equilibrium B. There is a negative production externality C. The demand curve is below the marginal social cost curve at the equilibrium quantity D: All of the above are true.
