Which option shows a major economic contribution of entrepreneurship?

Correct answer: Creating new products and employment opportunities

The direct answer is A: creating new products and employment opportunities. Entrepreneurship contributes to the economy when a person identifies a need, produces or provides something useful, and creates work for self or others. New products can increase choice and production; new enterprises can generate income, jobs and related business activity. Option A is correct because it names two major economic effects. Option B is wrong because hiding resources prevents their productive use. Option C is wrong because stopping work reduces production and income. Option D is wrong because reducing customers weakens sales and business activity. These benefits are not automatic in every business, but creating products and employment is a recognised major contribution of entrepreneurship. Memory cue: entrepreneurship generally means innovation, production, income and employment—not hiding, stopping or shrinking economic activity.
