Answer 1

Answer:

b.) While some job loss may occur as a result of automation, the potential for job creation exists

Explanation:

Automation is the process by which a the production process that is usually managed by people becomes mechanised.

The control and monitoring functions that people usually do is now transferred to automatic devices.

Employees can acquire the required skill to operate the machines that are now used in the production process.
