Solution
Option 1: Monotonic Preference -> This is the correct definition of monotonic preferences in consumer theory. Monotonicity assumes that 'more is better' - if a bundle has at least as much of every good and strictly more of at least one good compared to another bundle, then it is strictly preferred. This axiom ensures that indifference curves are downward sloping and consumers always prefer bundles with greater quantities. -> correct
