  b. a curve (not a line) connecting the lower left corner with the upper right corner.
  c. a line connecting the lower left corner with the upper right corner.
  d. a right angle connecting the upper left corner with the lower right corner.

For women U=min(F,D) The contract curve in the Edgeworth box using a representative man and woman would be
 a. a right angle connecting the lower left corner with the upper right corner.
