The correct option is 5th "Wages for the lowest-paid workers increase and employment decreases".  As we know, When minimum wage rate increases, then lowest paid workers start getting the increased level of minimum wage. So, there wage rate increases. But, it also increases the cost to the firms, so they demand less workers. As a result, employment decreases.
