Answer 1

In this case,the correct answer would be option b) given in the answer choices or More time to explore new revenue generation activities.

It might include introduction of new product or service lines, restructuring of the internal organizational settings or venturing new markets to capture higher consumer or client base. Hence, higher work or labor division through outsourcing activities can provide more time and opportunity for executives to focus more on other revenue generating endeavors.
