Answer:

The correct answer is Fire trucks.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

1. Building blocks buy = $50

Increase in units = 100 units

2. Fire trucks buy = $20

Increase in units = 80 units

( which means in $50 Fire trucks can be bought 2.5× existing units)

So, In $50 Fire trucks increase in unit = 80 units × 2.5 = 200 units

3. Trains buy = $5

Increase in units = 15

( which means in $50 Trains can be bought 10× existing units)

So, In $50 Trains increase in unit = 15 units × 10 = 150 units

Hence, Fire trucks will give the maximum utility.
