Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point where Bob's and Enid's production possibilities frontier intersect determines the maximum output they can produce together. In this case, the point of intersection is at 600 tacos and 150 burritos. Any combination of tacos and burritos beyond this point is not possible given their current production technology and resources. Therefore, the best choice is option C, which falls within the production possibilities frontier.
