Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total physical product reaches its maximum value in the zone of diminishing marginal return. This is because, in this zone, although the marginal product of an additional unit of input is positive, it is decreasing. The total product continues to increase but at a decreasing rate until it reaches its maximum point, after which it starts to decline.
