To calculate the total standard direct labor cost, we need to multiply the standard hours per unit by the standard rate per hour and then multiply by the total number of units produced. 
Standard labor cost per unit = 2 hours x $19 = $38 
Total standard labor cost for 2000 units = $38 x 2000 = $76,000 
Therefore, the correct answer is choice C.
