<span>Entrepreneurs are considered to be both spark plugs and catalysts of the free enterprise economy because of a number of reasons. Everybody benefits and profits when an entrepreneur becomes successful. When an entrepreneur opens his or her search for profits, the effects would be a chain of events where new products, greater competition, more production, higher quality, and lower prices for consumers can be observed. An entrepreneur is said to be a spark plug in the free-market for there is that vision of providing a product or a service that people are willing to pay for, combined with the ability to produce that product or service at a cost below the market sales price which propels him/her to take action. Capitalism will not work if it were not for the entrepreneurs who take the risks and start the businesses that produce the goods and services we all enjoy.</span>

Answer: c) economies of scale; increase
Explanation:
When industries are limited by the size of the domestic market, opening trade to the world markets will likely lead to economies of scale and increase real GDP per capita in the domestic country.
When this industry choose to break out of this limitation placed on them due to the small size of market in their country, the idea of opening trade to the world market would lead to reduction in production costs since they now have a larger market (and thus produce more). Also, the real GDP per capita in the domestic country should increase since the company in this domestic nation has expanded its production to the world market.
NOTE:
Economies of scale occur when the cost of production is now reduced because there is an increase in a company's production.
