The correct answer is C. Shows the maximum attainable combinations of two goods that may be produced with available resources.

Explanation:

The Production Possibilitiy Frontier (PPF) shows the most optimal usage of a a limited amount of resources to produce two separate goods and obtain the maximum production output possible. This theory is applicable only to the production of 2 products and demonstrates the concept of cost of opportunity. Producing more of one of the products means producing less of the other, as the resources are scarce.
