Moving from combination C (4 units of Good A and 2 units of Good B) to combination D (3 units of Good A and 2 units of Good B) results in a decrease of 1 unit of Good A and no change in the amount of Good B. Therefore, to remain on the same indifference curve, Jane would have to receive a compensation of 2 units of Good B, which gives a marginal rate of substitution of 2:1 (2 units of Good B for each unit of Good A).
