Answer:

c. Would have a higher utility if they bought less of Good X

Explanation:

Since the marginal rate of substitution is -1, this means that at that point the consumer is indifferent between product X and product Y, but since product X is more expensive than product Y, he/she will increase their utility per dollar if at least one more unit of product Y is bought instead of one unit of product X.
