If P_ij = the production of product i in period j,then to indicate that the limit on production of the company's three products in period 2 is 400,we would express it as A)P₂₁ + P₂₂ + P₂₃ ≤ 400. B)P₁₂ + P₂₂ + P₃₂ ≤ 400. C)P₃₂ ≤ 400. D)P₂₃ ≤ 400.

The given formula P_ij represents the production of product i in period j. To express the limit on production of the company's three products in period 2 as 400, we need to add the production of all three products in period 2 and set it less than or equal to 400. Option B has the correct combination of products and time periods to satisfy this condition, as it includes the production of all three products in period 2 (P₁₂ + P₂₂ + P₃₂) and sets it less than or equal to 400. Option A includes the wrong time period for one of the products, while options C and D only consider one product at a time.
