A society is saving lives (productively)efficiently if

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efficiently saving lives means that the society is maximizing its use of resources to save as many lives as possible. However, the resources available to society are finite, and so there may come a point where saving more lives requires sacrificing the production of other goods and services. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it acknowledges that there is a limit to the number of lives that can be saved without sacrificing other goods or services. A, B, and E are incorrect, as they do not take into account the opportunity cost of saving additional lives. C is also incorrect, as there is always the possibility of improving healthcare or developing new technologies to save more lives.
