Answer - B - Specialization leads to increased output of products primarily because people have the opportunity to become increasingly better (and faster) at one particular job.

Key Takeaway: In economics, specialization is designed to assign tasks and roles within an organization in order to increase productivity, especially given the increasing complexity of the industrialization era. Specialization matches the skills and capabilities of individuals with given roles and divides labor among employees. Although they may receive training and may be happier if allowed to focus only upon tasks they are good at or enjoy, the only thing that is guaranteed in specialization is the focus upon one task.
