The following graph shows the relationship between the number of hours a freelance writer spends on a project and the total number of words written. The average product of their labor is the number of words written per hour. At which of the labeled points is the writer's average product of labor the highest? (Note: A graph would be displayed showing a production function curve starting at the origin, increasing at a decreasing rate, with points A, B, C, and D marked along the curve in that order. The ray from the origin to point B would have the steepest slope.)
