Answer:

C) hire the additional worker.

Explanation:

The marginal revenue generated by the additional employee is $1,000 (= 100 units x $10 per unit), while the marginal cost of hiring the additional employee is only $500. Since the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost ($1,000 > $500), then Liyun should hire the additional employee.
