Answer 1

If at some other point say G, the economy produces 2 units of guns and 6 units of butter, then it represent under-utilisation of resources and economy would operate at a point below PPF.

Explanation:

At 2 units of guns, the maximum butter that can be produced is 7 units. Producing only 6 units of butter means operating inside the PPF, which represents underutilisation of resources and a point below the PPF.
