Answer: convex.
- A convex
- B concave
- C disconnected
- D circular
Correct answer: A. convex
Explanation: The intersection of half-planes is convex, so the feasible region is a convex set.
The feasible region (shaded) is bounded by the constraint lines; the fundamental theorem of LPP guarantees the optimal value of the objective function occurs at one of the corner points (O, A, B, C), so only these need to be checked, not the entire region.
