Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

As a result of immigration the population will increase. This will further cause the supply of labor to increase. The increase in supply of labor will further lead to a rightward in the labor supply curve. Consequently, wage rate will fall.

The demand for labor will not be affected by influx of workers.

So, option c is the correct answer.
