In a model of choice under scarcity, an individual's options are constrained by a feasible frontier, and their preferences are shown by indifference curves. Consider a point 'A' that lies on the highest possible indifference curve but is outside the feasible frontier. Consider another point 'B' that lies on the feasible frontier where it is tangent to an indifference curve. Finally, consider a point 'C' that lies inside the feasible frontier, not on the boundary. Which of the following statements correctly analyzes these options to identify the optimal choice?
