Refer to the diagram to the right, which shows various points on three different production possibilities frontiers for a nation. A movement from Y to Z:
- A. is the result of a decrease in preference for food products.
- B. represents an increase in the demand for plastic products.
- C. **is the result of advancements in plastic production technology.**
- D. is the result of advancements in food production technology.
**Diagram Explanation**
The diagram on the right illustrates three production possibilities frontiers, each represented by a curve. These curves show the trade-off between two types of products: food products and plastic products.
- The x-axis represents the quantity of plastic products.
- The y-axis represents the quantity of food products.
There are three curves depicted in the graph with points V, W, X, Y, and Z:
- Point X lies on the innermost curve.
- Point Y is on a middle curve, indicating a higher production possibility compared to the one with point X.
- Point Z is on the outermost curve, reflecting an even greater production possibility frontier.
A movement from point Y to point Z represents technological advancements in plastic production, allowing more of both types of goods to be produced.
