The answer is option B) Utility is defined as the satisfaction derived from the consumption of a good

Explanation:

Utility means satisfaction.

Utility in economics, refers to the usefulness or enjoyment a consumer can get from a service or good.

People buy goods and services for the utility they derive and seek better goods and services to maximize Utility.
