Answer:

correct option is e

first blank contains labor, second blank contain capital and land

Step-by-step explanation:

The production feature describes the relationship among production inputs and outputs. Assume at least one fixed output-input variable in the short-run output function. Therefore, labor is the variable source in the short-run production model, and remaining of the factor inputs are fixed inputs.

In the statement provided, a restaurant's manufacturing role is a process involves labor (including waiters, cooks, a manager), capital (including table, chairs, counters, and building) and property. If the restaurant owner wants to maximize brief-run production, then he has to use labor as a flexible source, and capital and land as set inputs.

therefore, first blank contains labor, second blank contain capital and land
