Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Efficiency means getting the maximum possible output from available resources. Options A and B are too restrictive as they only focus on labor or capital, and option D is not efficient as it only produces one commodity. Option C is not necessarily efficient as producing too far inside the production possibilities frontier means wasting resources that could be used to produce more goods and services.
