The correct answer is A. Total output will fall, but output per worker will rise.

Explanation:

In this situation, the reverse effect occurs, since there will be a smaller number of workers executing the tasks. This causes more work to be charged to them and for this reason the production of each one will increase; on the other hand, total production will be affected in the sense that fewer workers will not be able to equal or exceed total production.
