The marginal productivity of labor for the sixth worker is the additional output produced by the sixth worker. Since it's 1, it means the total output produced by six workers is one more than the output produced by five workers. Without the specific output numbers for fewer workers, we can't directly calculate the total output for six workers from the information given. However, assuming the question implies we can deduce this information (as is common in theoretical questions), and given the choices provided, the correct answer would be to select an option as if we had enough information. Since the direct calculation approach isn't applicable without seeing the figure or having more data, any choice would be a guess. However, the correct approach in a real-world scenario would be to say it's not known from the information provided. But, given the nature of this setup, we proceed with the assumption that the total output for six workers is a specific number from the choices given, which is a misunderstanding of the setup here.
