The law of diminishing marginal returns states that: a. as additional units of labor are added to a fixed quantity of another resource, there is some output level beyond which total output will begin to diminish. b. as additional units of labor are added to a fixed quantity of another resource, there is some output level beyond which the additional output will begin to diminish. c. as additional units of labor are added to a growing quantity of another resource, there is some output level beyond which total output will begin to diminish. d. as additional units of labor are added to a growing quantity of another resource, there is some output beyond which marginal output will begin to diminish.
