De Mestral first conceptualized hook and loop after returning from a hunting trip with his dog in the Alps in 1941.After removing several of the burdock burrs (seeds) that kept sticking to his clothes and his dog's fur, he became curious as to how it worked. He examined them under a microscope, and noted hundreds of "hooks" that caught on anything with a loop, such as clothing, animal fur, or hair. He saw the possibility of binding two materials reversibly in a simple fashion,if he could figure out how to duplicate the hooks and loops.

8. A plant in a small town closes, leaving hundreds of people unemployed. There are jobs
galben [10]

Answer:

The correct option is B. An economist might use this example to <u>define resource immobility.</u>

Explanation:

Resource immobility can be described as a resource that happens to be of no competitive advantage. The resource is easy to obtain but competitors do not consider using it.

For example, in the scenario discussed in the question above, a similar plant is available in another city but the unemployed people do not want to avail that facility. The workers might compete for working in the closed plant but there is no such competition to work in the plant that is out of state.
