    The correct option is C. an increase in the production of cups by a greater proportion than the increase in the size of the labor force due to immigration.

    Explanation: The Rybczynski theorem says that if the capacity of a particular resource is increased, the industry that makes use of that resource the most will increase its productivity while the other industry that does not utilize this resource will experience a decrease in its productivity.

    To answer the question above, we can see that the cup production is labour intensive while wine production is land intensive, therefore, a significant rise in immigration will lead to an increase in the supply of labour. Therefore, according to Rybczynski theorem, the enterprise that makes the most use of labour will experience an increase in production. In this case the cup production industry
