Answer:

C) 12 and 24, respectively.

Explanation:

The optimal consumption rule states that to maximize utility, a customer's marginal utility per dollar spent should be equal for all goods purchased.

In this case since watermelons' price is twice the cantaloupes' price, then their marginal utility should be double also.
