Final answer:

Productive efficiency means producing without waste and selling goods at the lowest possible average cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Productive efficiency means producing without waste, so that the choice is on the production possibility frontier. In the long run in a perfectly competitive market, because of the process of entry and exit, the price in the market is equal to the minimum of the long-run average cost curve. In other words, firms produce and sell goods at the lowest possible average cost.
