horsena [70]

Answer:

Option A, “the substitution effect dominates the income effect” is correct.

Explanation:

If the real wage increases then the opportunity cost for leisure will also increase. Therefore, an increase in real wages and a rise in the opportunity cost of leisure induce labor to supply more workforce or labor force. This is known as the substitution effect. Moreover, when this substitution effect is greater than the income effect then the supply curve for labor is upward sloping.
