Answer:

e. An improvement in technology

Step-by-step explanation:

The production possibilities frontier shows the various combinations of two goods an economy can produce given an amount of resources.

A change in the combination of goods produced and an increase in opportunity costs leads to a movement along the curve.

A reduction in the size of the labor force causes the production possibility frontier to shift inward.

I hope my answer helps you
