Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
Output rising by a larger proportion than inputs is Increasing Returns to Scale (A-III); by the same proportion, Constant Returns to Scale (B-I); by a smaller proportion, Decreasing Returns to Scale (C-IV). Marginal product first rising and then falling as one input varies is the Law of Variable Proportions (D-II).
