The design point is usually chosen
Answer: B
Correct answer: At the lowest thrust and highest wing loading allowed
The design point is normally placed at the corner of the feasible region that gives the lowest acceptable thrust-to-weight and the highest acceptable wing loading. Thrust costs engine weight, purchase price and fuel burn, and a low wing loading means a large wing with more structural weight and more wetted area - so both axes are pushed to their limits.
That corner is where two constraints intersect, which is why a well-sized design usually has two active constraints. The centre of the region would leave performance margin bought at a permanent penalty in weight and fuel.
