Answer:

b. Computers: Increase / Rice: Decrease  

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the benefits foregone of non chosen option when an option is chosen out of all available options which includes the non chosen option.

At full employment level, resources are employed in the most efficient manner, then to increase the production of one good, certain resources need to be diverted which were earlier used in the production of other goods (assuming the country produces only 2 goods).

Thus, if technology progresses only in the production of one good, that would imply that now the production of such a good would be encouraged.

Hence, the opportunity cost of computers would increase whereas that of producing rise would decrease.

Nevertheless, unions are undermining the market by prohibiting businesses from receiving their products at lower prices, causing them to increase prices. Moreover, businesses are often discouraged from using automation or robotics to retain jobs, which is ironic because automation and robotics improve the productivity of workers, thereby encouraging companies to pay employee salaries and benefits.
