A. Lise above its production possibilities curve
B. Is tangent to its production possibilities curve

D. Lise below its production possibilities curve
The use of indifference curves helps us determine the point:

C. At which a country ceases to become competitive
D. Where the marginal rate of transformation approaches zero

D. Finds its marginal rate of substitution exceeding its marginal rate of transformation
Trade between two nations would not be possible if they have:
A. Identical community indifference curves but different production possibilities curves
B. Identical production possibilities curves but different community indifference curves
