Ans. Option a
Avoidable cost is the variable cost of production, so, if revenue is less than avoidable cost then the firms total loss is a part of avoidable cost plus the full unavoidable cost and if it shuts down, then the total loss is reduced to unavoidable cost only. Thus, the firm is better off shutting down in this case.
