The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In Marxist theory, surplus value is the difference between the value produced by labor and the wages paid to workers.
Step 2: Absolute surplus value.
Absolute surplus value is generated by increasing the total working hours without increasing wages.
Step 3: Distinction from relative surplus value.
Relative surplus value arises from productivity gains through technology, not by extending the working day.

- “If we make abstraction from its use value, we make abstraction at the same time from the material elements and shapes that make the product a use value; we see in it no longer a table, a house, yarn, or any other useful thing. Its existence as a material thing is put out of sight. Neither can it any longer be regarded as the product of the labour of the joiner, the mason, the spinner, or of any other definite kind of productive labour. Along with the useful qualities of the products themselves, we put out of sight both the useful character of the various kinds of labour embodied in them, and the concrete forms of that labour; there is nothing left but what is common to them all; all are reduced to one and the same sort of labour, human labour in the abstract.” (Karl Marx, ‘Capital’)
