Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Outsourcing is known as the agreement under which one organization hires or employee another organization in order to be responsible existing or for a planned activity that tends to be done internally, and at times involves transferring workers and assets from an organization to another.

Inshoring is referred to as the opposite of Offshoring. It is known as the process or method of moving an organization or its business operation from abroad to a local country. It is also referred to as outsourcing of workers domestically.
