Moving from point B to point C means the consumer is willing to give up some juice in exchange for more popcorn. This indicates that the consumer prefers popcorn more than juice and is willing to sacrifice some juice to obtain more popcorn. Therefore, the best choice for the consumer would be to choose more popcorn and less juice.
