Explanation:

The optimal production is where : Marginal cost of production = Marginal benefit from production.

Marginal cost & marginal benefit refer to additional cost (incurred by producers) & additional benefit (by consumers), associated with the additional production level. Marginal Benefit also reflect the consumers' (buyers') willingness to pay for the additional product. So, it is analogous to demand curve.
