b. low reliance on skilled labor

Explanation:

Product layout refers to the concept used in assembly line whereby machines and equipments are arranged i. e their layout is, as per the order of their usage in the manufacturing process of products.

Usually such a layout process ensures that output of one machine serves as the input of another.

In such a process, the machines are of highly specialized nature. So workers lack knowledge of operating such machines. Thus, the process places low reliance on skilled labor.
