Correct answer
Explanation
Utility in economics has two dimensions: (1) the level of satisfaction derived from consumption, and (2) the want-satisfying power of a good (capacity to satisfy wants). Option C is correct because utility encompasses both aspects - it's both the satisfaction experienced AND the inherent power of a good to satisfy wants. Utility is a subjective measure of benefit or satisfaction from consuming goods/services.
