Hadassah Alexander · Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

D. Each worker performed only one task throughout the day.

The principle of an assembly line is that every employee is allotted one terribly specific task, that he or she merely repeats, and so the method moves to ensure an employee who does his or her task, till the task is completed and also the product is formed. It's the way to mass turn out product quickly and with efficiency.
