What does socially optimal means in economics?

The socially optimal point of production for a firm in a monopolisticly-competitive industry, or in a monopoly, or in an oligopoly is the point where the average cost curve (ATC) intersects the demand curve (or average revenue curve). At this point, the total profit of the monopoly is zero, so the point is said to be "socially optimal" as the firm does not retain any profits from its operation, and all the benefits of running the business are passed on to society.
