The Answer is

(a)Any production possibilities curve outside AB indicates growth (such as curve CD).See graph below.

(b)Production at point 4 indicates that the economy is not operating at its full potential.Increases in aggregate demand or reallocation of resources may be necessary to address this unemployment problem.
(c)A shifting from AB to EF indicates economic growth.This can occur as a result of supply factors that include increased quantity and quality of natural and human resources,increase in the stock of capital,and improved technology;growth in aggregate demand which motivates increases in production;and more efficient allocation of resources.
