Correct Answer: Convex


Solution :

Possibility A B C D E F
Commodity X 20 14 9 5 2 0
Commodity Y 0 1 2 3 4 5
MRT = Change in units sacrificed/Change in units gained -- 6:1 5:1 4:1 3:1 2:1

PPF is convex shaped due to decreasing MRT i.e. less and less units of commodity Y are sacrificed to gain an additional unit of commodity X. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
