Answer:

The answer is C. a straight line with a negative slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

this happens only if the production factors required to produce both goods/services considered are homogenous. but this rarely happens in real world scenarios.

Moreover, in a case like this, the production of one good can not be increased without sactrificing an eqaul ammout of production from the other good.
