Diminishing marginal productivity means that as more workers are added, the additional output produced by each additional worker decreases. Based on the table, the marginal product of the third worker is lower than the marginal product of the second worker, indicating diminishing marginal productivity. Therefore, the best choice is C, the third worker.
