Final Answer :

Explanation :
A represents combinations of guns and butter that society can produce using all of its factors efficiently. This is because A lies on the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF), which represents the maximum possible output combinations that a society can produce with its given resources and technology, showing that all resources are being used efficiently.
