Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Human resource planning is the process used to ensure the right amount and kinds of employees to deliver a specified level of service. Firms that do not conduct HRP may not be able to meet their future labor needs (a labor shortage) or may have to resort to layoffs (in the case of a labor surplus).
