Answer : D

Explanation :

Law is Based Upon Three Facts:
The law of diminishing marginal utility is based upon three facts.
First, total wants of a man are unlimited but each single want can be satisfied. As a man gets more and more units of a commodity, the desire of his for that good goes on falling. A point is reached when the consumer no longer wants any more units of that good.
Secondly, different goods are not perfect substitutes for each other in the satisfaction of various particular wants. As such the marginal utility will decline as the consumer gets additional units of a specific good. 
Thirdly, the marginal utility of money is constant given the consumer’s wealth.
