    Utility is an economic concept that refers to the happiness and satisfaction received from consuming a commodity or service.

    It is true that the economic concept of utility is synonymous with the general meaning of the term usefulness. This is because both of them indicate the satisfaction achieved from a commodity or service. So, this is the correct statement and hence the correct answer. The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility (LDMU) states that for every rational consumer the additional utility or the marginal utility derived by consuming every successive unit of a commodity declines. It is a fact that utility is non-measurable in nature. But, the entire consumer choice theory is built upon the presumption that every rational consumer wishes to maximize their total utility. Thus, utility plays an important role. As discussed earlier, both utility and usefulness indicate the satisfaction achieved from a commodity. So, any product that derives utility must have some usefulness.
