Match List-I with List-II
List-I List-II (A) Constant returns to scale (I) When a proportional increase in all inputs results in an increase in output by a larger proportion. (B) Decreasing Returns to Scale (II) The relationship between inputs used and output produced by the firm. (C) Increasing Returns to Scale (III) When a proportional increase in all inputs results in an increase in output by a smaller proportion. (D) Production function (IV) When a proportional increase in all inputs results in an increase in output by the same proportion.

Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
Constant returns to scale means output rises in the same proportion as inputs, so (A)-(IV). Decreasing returns to scale means output rises by a smaller proportion, so (B)-(III). Increasing returns to scale means output rises by a larger proportion, so (C)-(I). The production function is the input-output relationship, so (D)-(II). This gives option 1.
