Answer:
Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.
Explanation:
This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.
For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.
In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.

The gross margin for December is: 0.5%.
The Gross margin of an organisation or business measure the extent by which its income exceeds the costs it incurs in producing its goods and or services.
The gross margin is measured in percentages. The higher the percentage of this margin, the higher the effectiveness of the company's management in deriving value from every dollar invested.
Explanation:
To arrive at Gross Margin, one is required to subtract the total cost of goods sold from total revenue for the period and dividing that number by revenue. That is:
Gross Margin (GM) =
Step I - Calculate Revenue
This is given as the total amount of goods sold which is:
800 x $500 = $400,000
Step II - Calculate Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold per unit is given as
$250 per unit.
Total Cost of Goods sold therefore is
800 x $250 = $200,000
Step III - Calculate Gross Margin
=
=
= or 0.5%
