Economic growth can be seen by an outward shift of
A
The Production Possibility Frontier
B
The Gross Domestic Barrier
C
The Marginal Consumption Frontier
D
The Minimum Efficient Scale
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Economic growth occurs when an economy’s production at the full employment level increases. Increase in the production at the full employment level is shown by an outward shift of production possibility frontier (PPF).

Detailed explanation-2: -When the production possibilities frontier shifts outward, it represents an increase in the maximum possible output at every combination of factors of production, that is an increase in the real GDP. Hence, economic growth is reflected through the outward shift of the PPC.

Detailed explanation-3: -The production possibilities frontier (PPF) illustrates the total production of a country when it uses all its scarce resources. An outward shift of the production possibilities frontier represents an increase in technology, productivity, or supply.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the PPF curve moves outwards (outward shift), we can infer there has been growth in an economy. This can result from an increase in resources. It can also represent improved technology. When the PPF curve moves inwards (inward shift) it suggests the economy is shrinking.
