Answer:

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to pick from the options what should serve as the point of action of the firm given the scenario painted in the question;

We proceed as follows;

ATC= 30 $

Marginal revenue(MR)= 40 $

Price(P) =50 $

For efficiency,MC=minimum ATC=30 $

MR =40 > MC=30

For profit maximization, MR =MC

So, firm should raise output ,so that MR falls and becomes equal to MC

So correct option is B.
