The correct answer is letter "D": production is more profitable and employment rises.

Explanation:

The sticky-wage theory states that worker's earnings respond slowly to changes in the performance of the company or the economy. The theory states that a firm's revenue could be higher but not labor cost. As production is more profitable since the price level has raised more than expected, firms increase output and employment.
