Solution

The marginal cost (MC) curve intersects the average variable cost (AVC) curve at its minimum point. This is because when MC is less than AVC, AVC is falling, and when MC is more than AVC, AVC is rising. Therefore, AVC reaches its minimum when it is equal to MC.

The difference between average total cost (ATC) and AVC is indeed average fixed cost (AFC) for every level of output. This is because ATC is the sum of AVC and AFC.

So, the correct answer is "b and d are both true."
