Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Point I represents a higher level of production than point M. This can only be achieved through an increase in the quantities of capital, natural resources, or labor available or an improvement in technology. The country cannot achieve point I by simply reallocating its current resources from bicycles to radishes or vice versa. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
