D) increase in total output obtained from one additional unit of that input.

Explanation:

Marginal product (or marginal physical product) is the change in total output obtained by adding one additional unit of input. Generally the marginal product is measured for additional labor units, but it can also be measured for additional units of materials or components, and overhead.
