The marginal product curve of input Y shows how the quantity of output produced changes for each amount of input Y, holding all other inputs constant. This means that the curve illustrates the additional output that can be produced by adding one more unit of input Y, while keeping all other inputs the same. Therefore, the correct option is B - how the quantity of output produced changes for each amount of input Y, holding all other inputs constant.
