Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Resolving unemployment in an economy allows it to utilize idle resources, including labor, more efficiently. This means the economy can produce more goods and services, effectively moving the level of actual output closer to or onto its production possibilities curve, which represents the maximum output levels for two goods or services that an economy can achieve when all resources are fully employed. Choices B, C, and D do not directly result from resolving unemployment in terms of moving towards the production possibilities curve.
