A. The marginal social cost of pollution is increasing at a faster rate than the marginal private cost of dry cleaning OB. The marginal social cost of dry cleaning declines as output increases. OC. The total social cost of dry cleaning increases as output increases. OD. The marginal private cost of dry cleaning increases as output increases.
