- An increase in price
- A decrease in price
- Weather conditions
- A change in the cost of production
The correct answer is a decrease in price. Changes in the price of a commodity result in a movement along the supply curve, all other factors affecting supply except the price will lead to a shift in the entire supply curve. To be specific a decrease in the price of a commodity will result in a downward movement along the supply curve indicating that there is a decrease in the supply of a product at a lower price.
