The combination of economic utilities that is most directly improved by the installation of self-checkout kiosks and the provision of clear instructions is **Possession and Information**.
- **Possession utility** is enhanced because customers can complete their transactions independently, leading to a more convenient shopping experience.
- **Information utility** is improved because the clear instructions help customers navigate the self-checkout process, making it easier for them to understand how to use the kiosks effectively.
The other combinations (Time and Form, Labor and Land, Place and Capital) do not directly relate to the primary enhancements from the self-checkout kiosks as clearly as Possession and Information.
