A. indirect labor and manufacturing overhead.

Explanation:

Indirect labour is any form of labour that supports the production process but is not directly involved in the conversion of raw materials into finished goods. For example, the janitor is involved in keeping the factory clean but is not directly involved in the conversion or raw materials to fixed goods, thus it is indirect labour and the wages paid to the janitor are classified as indirect cost or manufacturing overhead cost.
