Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Labor-saving technology is a type of technology that can substitute for existing labor inputs, reducing the marginal product of labor. Conversely, labor-complementary technology is a type of technology that can complement existing labor inputs, increasing the marginal product of labor. The introduction of labor-saving technology shifts the demand curve for labor to the left, whereas the use of labor-complementary technology shifts the demand curve for labor to the right.
