Madelynn Castaneda · Answer 1

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Indiadesh produces two goods, textiles and computers.

Last year, Indiadesh produced 50,000 textiles and 1300 computers.

This year it produced 45,000 textiles and 1100 computers.

We see that there is a reduction in the production of both goods. The decline in production is likely because of a reduction in resources. With fewer resources, the country was able to produce a fewer quantity of both the goods.

An improvement in technology would have caused production to increase. A decrease in unemployment would also cause increased production.
