Answer:

The correct answer is: marginal utility; marginal utility.

Explanation:

The Diamond-Water paradox states that sometimes the goods with low value in use have a relatively high price while goods with high value in use have relatively low price.

This is because water has low marginal utility while diamonds have high marginal utility.
