If a handmade product is costlier than a machine made product what can be the proper reason?

Correct answer: It includes time skill and personal work

The direct answer is C: it includes time, skill, and personal work. A handmade product is made largely through the artisan's labour rather than through a fully automated process. The price may therefore include hours of work, training, careful detail, design decisions, small-scale tools, material wastage, and the uniqueness of an individual piece. The reasoning is: more time and specialised skill create production cost; personal attention can create distinctive quality; the selling price must recover these costs and support the artisan. Option A is wrong because handmade work requires labour. Option B is wrong because a higher price does not mean the item is always fake; authenticity must be checked separately. Option C is correct because it explains a legitimate cost and value difference. Option D is wrong because every product made for a market is intended to be sold. Handmade does not automatically mean better in every respect, but its labour and skill can reasonably make it costlier. Memory cue: handmade price reflects hands, hours, and skill.
