    The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ

    Explanation:

    Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.

    In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.

    By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.

    Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.
