Lilyana Villarreal · Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

B. Foreign producers are able to insource and make higher profits.

Insourcing is commonly used around the world by different countries in production to reduce costs of taxes, labor, and transportation. The projects of production are assigned to the individuals or department within the company instead of outsourcing, which leads to a better profit to the companies. And this one the reasons that led to job loss in the United States.
