TC curve

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
TC curve does not start from origin. The shape of the total cost curve is based on short-run production returns, especially the law of diminishing marginal returns. Another observation is that the total cost curve does not go through the origin, but rather begins at a positive value on the vertical axis. This vertical intercept indicates fixed cost.
