Answer:

b. requiring individuals to complete specific types of work

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the following options, the statement that addresses the economic question of how to produce is "requiring individuals to complete specific types of work"

This is because as a producer one may choose to use either a certain individual to complete a specific type of work or employ the service of machinery, an ex-pat from another country, or just a technical expert in a government-funded organization.

Therefore, each of the options will yield a different cost to the producer.
