Answer:
The correct answer is productive and allocative efficiency (i.e. Option C) because productive efficiency of purely competitive market helps the consumer to buy a good at lowest possible average cost (i.e. it satisfies the P=AC condition) which indicates there is no waste in purely competitive market and allocative efficiency allows to set the price equal to marginal cost (i.e. it satisfies the P=MC condition) which indicates at the market price marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C (i.e. productive and allocative efficiency).
