preparing for a war, it intends to produce more tanks and to do so, it starts coverting its car factories into tank factories.
Which of the following is true?

The production possibilities curve for cars and tanks will shift outward.
O The production possibilities curve will show decreased opprotunity costs as more tank is produced.
O The production possibilities curve will shift inward.
