If indifference curves cross, then:

A) the assumption of a diminishing marginal rate of substitution is violated.
B) the assumption of transitivity is violated.
C) the assumption of completeness is violated.
D) consumers minimize their satisfaction.
E) all of the above

Indifference Curves

A graph showing a series of lines that represent different bundles of goods between which a consumer is indifferent.

Diminishing Marginal

Refers to a principle where the marginal gain (such as utility or productivity) from an additional unit decreases as more units are consumed or produced.

Transitivity

Transitivity in decision-making implies that if a person prefers option A over B, and B over C, then the person should also prefer A over C, forming a consistent order of preferences.
