A production possibilities curve that is bowed out or concave to the origin:
 a. illustrates a tradeoff in which the opportunity cost of a good increases with the level of its production.
  b. illustrates a tradeoff in which the opportunity cost of a good decreases with the level of its production.
  c. illustrates a tradeoff in which the opportunity cost of a good is constant at all levels of production.
