    B. Increase the level of output.

    Explanation:

    Whether in the short-run or long-run, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profit by producing where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

    At this time marginal revenue ($6) is still higher than marginal cost ($5). Producing one more unit of out put would yield more profit ($6 - $5 = $1)
