Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The average variable cost (AVC) can either rise or fall as output rises. It is because AVC is calculated by dividing the total variable cost (TVC) by the quantity of output. If TVC rises at a faster rate than output, then AVC will rise. On the other hand, if TVC rises at a slower rate than output, then AVC will fall. Therefore, the answer is (C) may be falling or rising.
