Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": efficiency and quality.

Explanation:

Efficiency and quality were the main focuses to drive companies to the maximization of productivity during the 20th century. This movement was spread among the U.S. and Britain based on the idea that all organizations' efforts should be driven to eliminate corporate waste and inefficiency.

Andreas93 [3]
I would say the subsidies for corn-based sugar will result in more of that sugar being produced and therefore sales should increase and the government should benefit by more tax revenue in the long run to offset the cost of the subsidies.
