Solution

The correct answer is:

a. Profit is maximized at the level of output where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Price charged to the consumer is determined from the demand curve.

This is because in a monopoly, the monopolist is the only supplier in the market and therefore has the ability to control the price. The monopolist will choose the level of output where marginal revenue equals marginal cost to maximize profit. The price that the monopolist charges to the consumer is then determined from the demand curve at this level of output.
