Final Answer : A, Explanation :  An increase in the supply of other factors, such as capital, can increase the demand for labor because more capital allows for more production, which often requires more labor. This is based on the principle of complementary inputs where an increase in one input (like capital) can lead to an increased demand for another input (like labor) if they are used together in production.
