Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Statement I is based on the concept of consumer surplus, which refers to the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price paid. Taking more piano lessons can lead to a greater appreciation and enjoyment of music, thus increasing the value of the lessons to the consumer and potentially leading to a higher price they would be willing to pay. Statement II, on the other hand, defines utility as the usefulness of a good or service. While utility is related to consumer surplus, it is not a direct measure of it.
