Gael's utility function for trout (T) and salmon (S) is given by U = ST, where the MU_T = S and MU_S = T. Which pair of consumption bundles lies on the same indifference curve? A) bundles of (S = 2 and T = 4) and (S = 3 and T = 3) B) bundles of (S = 5 and T = 5) and (S = 25 and T = 1) C) bundles of (S = 10 and T = 2) and (S = 5 and T = 1) D) bundles of (S = 8 and T = 6) and (S = 7 and T = 10)

Both bundles (S = 5, T = 5) and (S = 25, T = 1) give a utility of 25, thus lying on the same indifference curve.
