The correct answer is: B. Advances in robotics

Robots over the next decade are expected to become more affordable, more advanced and more prominent in the labor market as they improve productivity and cut costs. U.S. labor costs could shrink by 22 percent if machines complete only 25 percent of the tasks they're capable of performing. And while reduced labor costs are good for business owners, productivity increases could come at the expense of low-skill jobs.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.

the answer is c.
