Answer:

A) An increase in sales revenue received by the firm.

Step-by-step explanation:

If worker productivity increases, the total output produced by the company will increase while the average cost per unit produced will decrease. This should result in a rightward shift of the supply curve that decreases the product's price at every level of quantity demanded. Since the demand is elastic, a small decrease in price will result in a larger increase in quantity demanded.
