A

An economy has two people,Charlie and Doris.There are two goods,apples and bananas.Charlie has an initial endowment of 3 apples and 8 bananas.Doris has an initial endowment of 6 apples and 4 bananas.Charlie's utility function is U(AC,BC)=ACBC,where AC is his apple consumption and BC is his banana consumption.Doris's utility function is U(AD,BD)=ADBD,where AD and BD are her apple and banana consumptions.At every Pareto optimal allocation,
