Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Indirect labor costs are considered part of manufacturing overhead, which includes all indirect costs associated with manufacturing a product, such as rent, utilities, and maintenance. These costs cannot be directly traced to a specific product or job, and therefore must be allocated across all products using a predetermined overhead rate.
