Consider the table below, in which each production choice represents a point on a production possibility curve. $$\begin{array}{l}
\begin{array} { | c | c | c | }
\hline \text { Thuice } & \text { Eggs } & \text { Rye } \
\hline \text { A } & 10 & 0 \
\hline B & 8 & 10 \
\hline \text { C } & 6 & 20 \
\hline \text { D } & 4 & 30 \
\hline E & 2 & 40 \
\hline F & 0 & 50 \
\hline
\end{array}
\end{array}$$ This production possibility table could be graphed as a:
A) straight line with negative slope.
B) curved line with negative slope.
C) straight line with zero slope.
D) curved line with positive slope.
