Grayson Stewart · Answer 1

Option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

Production possibility frontier curve is a graphical representation of the combination of two goods to be produced. If there is a technological advancement then as a result there is an increase in the productivity of the inputs.

This will increase the quantity of both the goods to be produced with the same level of resources. Hence, this will shift the production possibility frontier outward.
