To answer the question, we first restate the given data from Table 13-1: the Output (Units) corresponding to each Labor (Number of Workers).

- 0 workers -> 0 output
- 1 worker -> 30 output
- 2 workers -> 45 output
- 3 workers -> 60 output
- 4 workers -> 50 output
- 5 workers -> 40 output

Now, evaluate each answer option in light of this table.

- Option A: 10. This would imply total output with 1 worker is 10 units, which contradicts the table where the output with 1 worker is 30 units. Since the table explicitly lists 30 for 1 worker, 10 cannot be correct.

- Option B: 30. This exactly matches the table entry for 1 worker, which is the total output when one worker is hired. If you read the table column carefully, the row for 1 worker shows 30 units of output.

- Option C: 45. This corresponds to the output with 2 workers (the next row after 1 worker). It is the total output when 2 workers are employed, not when only 1 is employed. Therefore, 45 is the wrong total for 1 worker.

- Option D: 75. There is no row in the table that shows 75 units of output for any number of workers; the listed outputs are 0, 30, 45, 60, 50, and 40. Thus 75 is not supported by the data.

In summary, comparing each choice against the provided table, only the value 30 aligns with the stated total output for 1 worker. The other options either contradict the given table or reference outputs from other worker counts.
