If the XS1U1B11S1U1B0 column were selected as the pivot column, the resulting pivot row would be the last row (XS1U1B00S1U11), which has a negative value in the objective function row. This means that by increasing the value of XS1U1B11S1U1B0, the objective function (profits) would decrease. Therefore, selecting this pivot column would lead to a decrease in profits, resulting in an inferior solution.
