A
level of technological advancement in an economy
B

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms in the problem: 'units of production' or 'units of output' refer to the measurable quantities of goods and services produced by an economy within a given period.
Recognize that 'level of technological advancement' relates to how efficiently resources are used, not the actual quantity produced.
Identify that 'amount of resources available for production' refers to inputs like labor, capital, and raw materials, which influence production but are not the output themselves.
Note that 'opportunity cost' is the cost of forgoing the next best alternative when making a choice, which is a concept related to trade-offs, not the quantity produced.
Conclude that the correct interpretation of 'units of production' or 'units of output' is the actual quantities of goods and services produced by an economy.
