The production possibilities frontier (PPF) represents the maximum combination of goods or services that can be produced with a fixed amount of resources. An unattainable combination is one that lies beyond the PPF, meaning the economy does not have enough resources to produce that combination of goods. Option C (200 loaves of bread and 800 books) is likely beyond the PPF, as producing 800 books would typically require most or all of the economy's resources, leaving insufficient resources to produce 200 loaves of bread.
