To compute the area under a curve we use the concept of :
Answer: C
The area under a curve is computed using Integration.
The definite integral of a function between two limits gives the area between the curve and the horizontal axis over that interval:
\[ A = \int_{a}^{b} f(x)\, dx \]
In economics this is how consumer and producer surplus, total cost from marginal cost, and probabilities under a density function are found. Differentiation gives slopes and rates of change, not areas. Limits underlie integration but are not the method itself, and probability is one application of areas under a curve, not the means of computing them.
