C. When excess capacity exists, cost can increase

Explanation:

The only False statement in all the given four statement is option C that is When excess capacity exists, cost can increase.

Clearly, the above statement is false because when by the principle of economies of scale at higher capacity, the overall cost of production decreases. (in simple terms, higher the supply, lesser will be the demand.)
