Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

In labour economics, the market supply of labour to a particular occupation or industry is determined by multiple variables: wages offered in alternative occupations (a), non-wage income and wealth (b), workers' utility preferences between work and leisure (c), and the total number of qualified workers in the population (d). Therefore, all four factors—a, b, c, and d—are determinants of labour supply.
