Multiple Choice

Two farmers, Anil and Bala, must independently choose a strategy for controlling crop pests. They can either use an Integrated Pest Control method (I) or a chemical pesticide called Terminator (T). The table below shows the payoffs they receive (Anil's payoff, Bala's payoff) for each combination of choices. An outcome is considered inefficient if there is an alternative outcome where at least one farmer is better off and no farmer is worse off. Based on this principle, which statement correctly analyzes the outcomes in the table?

             Bala's Choice
             +-----------+-----------+
             |     I     |     T     |
+------------+-----------+-----------+
| Anil's   I |  (3, 3)   |  (1, 4)   |
| Choice   T |  (4, 1)   |  (2, 2)   |
+------------+-----------+-----------+
