Answer #1

In a short run at least one of the firm's resources cannot be varied. The correct answer is "E".

Let's see why other options are wrong:

Option A suggests all the resources are variable. It is the case of long-run where every variable can be changed not in the short run.

Option B is wrong because in the short run some variables are variable like labors.

OPtion C NO there is no fixed time for defining short run. It depends on the industries.

Option D is wrong because technical efficient production if very much possible in the short run as well.
