According to the indifference curve map, the highest level of utility can be achieved at point C, where Sara consumes 10 Cubs' tickets and 12 babyback rib dinners. This point lies on a higher indifference curve compared to the other options, indicating a higher level of satisfaction for Sara. Options A and B are on lower indifference curves and therefore provide lower levels of satisfaction than option C. Option D is incorrect because the indifference curve map shows that different combinations of Cubs' tickets and babyback rib dinners provide different levels of utility.
