Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The production possibilities frontier (PPF) represents the maximum output combinations of two goods that can be produced given available resources and technology. Option B is likely on the PPF as it represents a feasible combination of programming and testing within the constraints of a 40-hour workweek.
