It seems like the answer is X, since literacy is not mentioned as one of the conditions that affect labor supply. Immigration and emigration and birth and death rates directly affect population size, marital status affects marital status, and employment agencies arguably affect participation.
(this is assuming that literacy doesn't affect participation, which is questionable)

(this is same as this question: https://gmatclub.com/forum/the-quantita ... 07064.html)

I think Literacy rate means the rate of participation in labour force. The more literate people in the country, the higher is the supply.So C is not the right answer.

No, of employment agencies is a better option. It doesnt matter if you have 1000 people working in one agency or 100 people working in 10 agencies, in total the supply is 1000.
