The correct Answer is:
N/a

Consumer equilibrium will be determined at 4th unit of consumption as here
MU(Rs.)=Price(Rs.)=Rs.6
If he purchases less than 4 units, MU gt Price so he would increase the consumption to gain more satisfaction till MU=Price.
If he purchases more than 4 units , MU lt Price so he would buy less quantity to increase satisfaction (reach equilibrium).
