D. Andrew makes decisions by comparing the status-quo with somethingwhich is only slightly different

Explanation:

Marginal analysis describes the additional benefit of an activity in comparison to the additional costs incurred from that activity. It is used by businesses in decision-making as regards profits and costs.

From the above, if Andrew decides to change the status quo slightly, his additional benefit or cost by this slight change is his marginal benefit or cost (marginal analysis)
