a.  Produce goods and pay workers

Explanation:

In order for the economy to be active and healthy, the movement chain of both expenditure and income in the economy must not be broken, this movement is what economists called circular flow of income.

The Circular flow of income depicts the movement of goods and services as well as factors of production between economic agents (i.e. the household and the firm)

The household supply factor input (i.e. factors of production)  to the firm, the firm after paying the household, utilizes the factors input in producing goods and services, the firm in turn supply the goods to the household who spend the reward received for their factors of production to buy goods and services from the firm. this flow continues.

Therefore, to have a healthy economy, the firm must produce goods and pay workers so that the workers will have money to buy goods produced by the firm.
