Answer: The correct answer is "a. lower wage rate and hire fewer workers than will a purely competitive employer.".

Explanation: Monopsony is generated when there are many people looking for work and there are only a few employers, who can afford to offer a lower salary than they would have to offer if there was more competition for workers.
