  C. the marginal social cost of producing it exceeds the marginal private cost of producing it
  D. a marginal external cost lowers the marginal benefit from consuming it

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

C MSC = MC + marginal external cost, so with an external cost present, MSC > MC.

Answer to Question 2

All bundles of goods along an indifference curve are equally preferred. Each indifference curve shows a different level of satisfaction. If two indifference curves intersect, this means that at the point of intersection, the same bundle of goods leads to two different levels of satisfaction. Since this is not logically possible, indifference curves cannot intersect. The higher the indifference curve, the higher the level of satisfaction.
A
