The economic question “how to produce?” is about the methods and techniques used in production: which resources, which technology, and what combination of labor and capital are chosen to make goods and services.

So, among typical multiple‑choice style options, the ones that address the economic question of how to produce would be statements like:

  • “Using more machines and fewer workers in factories” (capital‑intensive production).
  • “Choosing labor‑intensive methods to create more jobs.”
  • “Producing goods with environmentally friendly technology, even if costs are higher.”

In contrast, options about which goods to make (e.g., “producing more healthcare than weapons”) address what to produce , and options about who receives the goods (e.g., “selling only to high‑income buyers”) address for whom to produce.

If you share the exact answer choices, I can point out which one clearly matches the “how to produce” question.
