Problem

The graph below shows how the amount of fishing effort can impact the available commercial yield of a fishery.
A line graph shows yield, in kilograms, on the y axis. On the x axis is the effective fishing effort, in days. The line begins at the origin, curves steeply upward, peaks, and then curves downward gradually at first and steeply at the end. The label A is placed just to the left of where the line peaks.
Which item best summarizes the expected outcome of harvesting fish at point A on the graph?
