    C. the greater is the marginal productivity of labor relative to that of capital

    Explanation:

    An isoquant is a curve that shows all the combinations of inputs that yield the same level of output.

    When adding one factor holding the other factor constant inevitably, leads to lower output levels, the isoquant must become steeper, as more capital is added instead of labour, and flatter when labour is added instead of capital. Returns to capital even decline.
