a. can be thought of as the total benefit Ashley enjoys by eating two bananas minus the total benefit she would have enjoyed by eating just the first banana.

Explanation:

The marginal benefit is the satisfaction can is directly associated with the consumption of an extra good or service. The marginal benefit is of a product is the satisfaction derived from consuming more of that product. The marginal benefit of a product depends on the special traits of the product and the intensity of the consumer's need.

To get the marginal benefit of a product, we have to separate the satisfaction from the last consumed unit from the previous one. Marginal is associated with the benefit enjoyed by consumption of the last unit only.
