Use your noggin, i’ll answer since no one else will. If you make pancakes and your level of production of pancakes rises (productivity rises) your output of pancakes has to increase, right? If you have a factory that produces pancakes and to increase output you have to find more help, right? So employment rises. If there are more pancakes in the market, assuming demand stays level, then prices fall since there’s more product. So answer is C.
