The figure to the right represents the demand for ice cream cones. Which of the following statements is true? O A. Points a and b may not necessarily be the utility - maximizing quantities of ice cream cones at two different prices because we have no information on the consumer's budget or the price of other goods. B. Points a and b are the utility - maximizing quantities of ice cream cones at two different prices of ice cream. O C. Points a and b are derived independently of the utility - maximizing model. O D. Point a could be a utility - maximizing choice if the price is $3 but point b may not be because we have no information on the marginal utility per dollar when price changes.
