- **b.** The equilibrium price would decrease, but the impact on the amount sold in the market would be ambiguous.

- **c.** Equilibrium quantity would increase, but the impact on equilibrium price would be ambiguous.

- **d.** The equilibrium price would increase, but the impact on the amount sold in the market would be ambiguous.

**Options Available:**

- Cross out: [Option A] [Option B] [Option C] [Option D]
