The law of diminishing marginal returns states that as you add more and more of a variable input to a fixed input, the additional output you get eventually becomes less and less. Similarly, the phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth" means that when too many people are involved in a task, the end result can become worse instead of better. Both statements imply that adding more of something will eventually lead to a decrease in quality or effectiveness. The other statements do not have a direct connection to the concept of diminishing marginal returns.
