• D. a high ratio of labor to capital

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the key terms: 'capital' refers to machinery, equipment, and technology used in production, while 'labor' refers to human work effort.
2. Recognize that a 'highly automated plant' relies heavily on machines and technology to perform tasks that humans might otherwise do.
3. Since automation replaces or reduces the need for human labor, the plant will use more capital (machines) relative to labor (workers).
4. Therefore, the plant will have a high ratio of capital to labor, meaning capital input is much greater compared to labor input.
5. Compare this understanding with the given options to identify that 'a high ratio of capital to labor' correctly describes a highly automated plant.
