The production possibilities frontier shows the maximum possible combinations of goods that can be produced with the given resources and technology. Any point that lies outside the frontier is unattainable with the current resources and technology. Point B (10 units of good X and 16 units of good Y) lies outside the frontier, so it is unattainable.
