Ans: E. lies below demand curve.
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue earned by selling an additional unit of output. In a monopoly market since there is a single seller, the monopolist can sell more only when it reduces it's price. So, for a monopoly firm marginal revenue is less than price. Thus, for a single-price monopoly, the marginal revenue curve lies below demand curve.
