Solution
The correct option is D neither infinite nor zero The four factors of production are not related to each other in most circumstances hence their elasticity of substitution is neither infinite or zero. But, in a few circumstances they are related. For example, as we move on in the 21st century labour and capital are starting to get related as there labour intensive and capital intensive industries.
