a. By reducing the frequency of activity.

Explanation:

You can measure efficiency in business activity by getting the quotient of an actual output rate of a worker by a determinate standard output rate. This comparison will improve or get closer to 1 if guests' information is added to forms based on computerized reservation rather than waiting until guest checks in. Thus, a person in a hotel lobby counter will do her/his work more efficiently if s/he has access to the guest's computerized reservation instead of waiting for the guest to submit her/his information in the check-in process.

This business activity has a particular frequency as a service business related to seasons. A low-season closing follows to a zero frequency, therefore, there are no expenses related to a service which the business is not offering.

Finally, as guests may now check-in online rather than in person, this combines frequency and efficiency in business, thus, the business would not have to pay for a worker on the counter to ask and fill in forms at the hotel check-in process.
