D feels off. Steady state comes later, not now.

C is interesting, but I doubt it applies here.

But B seems too simplistic. A is more accurate.

I think it’s A. The time decreases but not too fast.

Not so sure about this... can it really be that predictable?

Definitely A! The more you make, the better you get, right?

Wait, is it really A? I thought it would be more linear.

I disagree, it should be B) Reduce at a constant rate.

A) Reduce at a decreasing rate. That's how learning curves work!

I feel like I read that the time taken reduces at an increasing rate initially, but then it slows down. So maybe A is the best choice, but I’m not completely confident.

I'm a bit confused about the terms here. Does "steady state" mean the time stops decreasing? That could be option D, but I feel like it might not apply until after 256 units.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the answer was that the time reduces at a decreasing rate, so I might go with A.

I think the learning curve means that as we produce more units, the time taken should decrease, but I'm not sure if it's at a constant or decreasing rate.
