(a) TRUE when MC is greater than ATC , then AVC rises as output rises . Because MC cuts AVC and ATC at their respective minimums . MC cuts ATC at the higher output level than when MC cuts AVC. And when MC is greater than ATC , then both AVC and ATC rises as output rises as shown in the figure below:
