The correct answer is Option C) Land and Labor

The clothing company wants to increase sales and is expanding in an urban area to set up a warehouse.

When making its decision, the company needs to find, good land, at a great price which is centrally located.

The idea is to invest the least amount of money for maximum benefits.

Similarily, it needs to expand its production/warehousing facilities in an area where they can find cheap labor thatis readily available.
