Answer 1

B. A Shift Outward in the Production Possibilities Curve of the US

Step-by-step explanation:

Entry of women into the workforce certainly added value to the economy since it created a shift outward in the production possibilities curve of the United States. In case of production possibilities curve shifts outward, there is a good sign that output is increasing while when the curve shifts inward, we can be sure that output is decreasing.
