The correct answer is B. Average fixed cost remains constant as output rises.

Average fixed cost (AFC) is calculated by dividing the total fixed cost by the quantity of output. Since fixed costs do not vary with the level of output in the short run, as output increases, the total fixed cost remains the same. As a result, the average fixed cost decreases on a per-unit basis as it is spread over a larger quantity of output. Therefore, option B, "remains constant as output rises," is the accurate statement regarding average fixed cost
