Solution

The correct answer is: A greater amount of capital and land resources used with labor will increase labor's marginal productivity and thus labor demand.

This is because the marginal product of a resource is the additional output that can be produced by using one more unit of the resource, all other resources being held constant. If more capital and land resources are used with labor, it means that each worker has more resources to work with, which can increase the output that each worker can produce, thus increasing labor's marginal productivity. This in turn increases the demand for labor, as firms will want to hire more workers to take advantage of the increased productivity.
