- D. All of the above

Explanation:

- As the country shifted from good-based economy to service-based economy, the market need a little bit of time to adjust. People start to re-structure the way they operate their business to accommodate the new demands in the market. This transitional period caused the productivity slowdown.

- Deterioration of the U. S educational system lead to less amount of high skilled workers in United States. This make the company's unable to hire enough employees with high productivity.

- High energy prices caused many companies unable to fulfill their production quota as usual (since machines require energy fuel to be operated). This cause a decrease in the country's GDP and productivity.
