SFC or TAS

Doing some study for up coming interviews later in the year and would like some response to the following question which seems all to common but many varied responses.

Q. What is the optimum altitude for a turbofan engine.

Ideas have been height for best TAS whilst others say best Specific Fuel Consumption. What really determines the best altitiude to fly at. Answers greatly appreciated
