Answer:

The answer is household selling a resource in the factor market which is the same thing as business buying resource in the factor market

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor market is a market in which factors of production e.g land, capital, labor are bought and sold.

In the question above, Jim(household or labor) is working at a restaurant (firm or business). This means Jim is selling his resource(labor) in the factor market while the restaurant is buying the resource(labor) in the factor market.
