A is obviously the correct answer.
Initially thought that C is also correct. If your factory is selling the product at a higher price or other costs were reduced or the process is more efficient, then you can maintain the production level and pay higher wages. But the stem uses the verb 'rise' linked to industrial output, not to wages. Wages are considered not as increasing, but as high or low levels. That's why C is wrong.
