Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Toyota, a Japanese car manufacturer, employs around 40,000 autoworkers in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Outsourcing is a common strategy in which a company or business hires an external party to deal with certain activities or functions, this means the company uses external or "outside" sources. This includes offshoring outsourcing that occurs as one company hires another company located in a different country or relocates part of the business countries outside the original country. Usually because in a different country the raw materials or labor are cheaper.

An example of this is "Toyota, a Japanese car manufacturer, employs around 40,000 autoworkers in the United States" because in this case the company Toyota transfers part of its business (outsourcing) and for doing this, it hires employees in a different country which means the outsourcing occurs in a different country or offshore.
