Answer the question based on the following information for four highway programs of increasing scope. All figures are in millions of dollars. Program Total Cost A $2 B $6 C $12 D $20 The data indicate that: - The marginal cost and marginal benefit of Program C are $12 and $21, respectively. - There is no highway program that is economically justifiable based on cost-benefit analysis. - Program D is optimal because it has the highest total cost. - The marginal cost and marginal benefit of Program A are $2 and $9, respectively.
