The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Given the labour output function for the laundry service:
O=(a04L0)6 O = (a^0 - 4L^0)^6
where LL denotes labour and OO denotes output.
1. a0a^0 is always equal to 1 for any non-zero aa.
2. L0L^0 is always equal to 1 for any non-zero LL.
Thus, the expression simplifies to:
O=(141)6 O = (1 - 4 \cdot 1)^6
O=(14)6 O = (1 - 4)^6
O=(3)6 O = (-3)^6
O=729 O = 729
Therefore, the output OO remains constant at 729, regardless of the amount of labour LL.
Correct answer is Option C : Remains constant irrespective of the amount of labor.
