b. Tesla cars
c. notebooks
d. all of the above are scarce goods
The answer is d).
In a narrow sense, a good is scarce if there is a limited quantity of the good. In a broad sense, a good is scarce if there is an opportunity cost of producing it. In the narrow sense, all the listed goods are scarce because there is a finite quantity of each of them. That is, we do not have an unlimited supply of hairpins, Tesla cars, or notebooks in the world.
