Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is It allows workers to specialize in a variety of skills

Explanation:

Job specialization (also known as division of labor) first proposed by the scottish economist Adam Smith, exposed in his main work "The Wealth of Nations" in 1776, refers to the process of breaking large jobs into smaller jobs assigned to individual workers. The purpose of job specialization is to focus each worker's concentration on a specific area of expertise within the production process. The argument states that, through the specialization and refinement of skills, productivity will increase.
