Ba lower level of satisfaction
Czero level of satisfaction

1. Combinations on higher indifference curves contain more of one or both goods.
2. Since more goods are preferred to less, a farther curve means greater satisfaction.
3. It is not lower, equal, or zero satisfaction, so those options are wrong.
