Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. The marginal product (MP) is the change in total product (TP) resulting from employing one additional worker.

    MPn=TPn−TPn−1\text{MP}_n = \text{TP}_n - \text{TP}_{n-1}
  2. From the table, M refers to the marginal product for the 3rd worker.

    TP at 2 workers = 14 kg
    TP at 3 workers = 27 kg

    MP3=27 kg−14 kg\text{MP}_3 = 27~\text{kg} - 14~\text{kg}
  3. Simplify the expression.

    MP3=13 kg\text{MP}_3 = 13~\text{kg}
  4. Thus, the value of M is 13 kg (option C).
