Solution
The correct option is C concave
The slope of
production possibility curve is marginal opportunity cost which refers to the
additional sacrifice that a firm makes when they shift resources and technology
from production of one commodity to the other. Since resources are use
specific, therefore every time when one more unit of a commodity is produced
more units of the other commodity is sacrificed that results in increasing
marginal opportunity cost which leads to the concave shape of PPC.
