The answer is the first choice - no. you need to buy more paper and fewer pencils.

Marginal utility is the change in total satisfaction derived from consuming one more unit of a good. In this case, the pad of paper has higher marginal utility, thus in order to maximize it, you'll need to buy more paper and fewer pencils.
