Answer:

A) Overcoming

Step-by-step explanation:

In this production process the fact that operation Y can only process 50 units per hour while the preceding operation (X) can process 55 units per hour will result in a queue and a capacity constraint.

If operation Y's effective capacity is increased to match operation X's, then the constraint has been overcome.
