Answer

B
New shipping methods allow a producer to manufacture goods overseas.
C
New manufacturing plants open in areas where labor costs are cheaper.
D
New education is provided to workers to operate new machinery.

Explanation

Automation uses machines or technology to perform tasks that people once did. New machines that let a factory produce goods with fewer workers are a direct example of automation benefiting producers, because production can continue with less labor. Shipping goods overseas and opening plants where labor is cheaper are not examples of automation.
