Answer:
(B) the macroeconomy
Explanation:
The condition of the macroeconomy would exert the most influence of a firm's decision to hire more workers.

Option C is incorrect as the level of a firm's income would likely not be considered in its hiring decision if demand for its goods was very high. Option D is incorrect as the household income would likely not be considered by the firm in its hiring decision.
