Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slopes of the production possibilities curves (PPCs) represent the opportunity cost of producing a specific good. They are determined by the slopes of the tangents drawn to the PPCs at each point, which give the rate of transformation between the production of two goods. Therefore, A is the correct choice. B is incorrect because the slopes can be negative if there is a decreasing marginal rate of transformation. C and D are incorrect because the slopes of the PPCs are not related to fixed costs of production and can be compared across different countries or regions.
