Ответ:
B. The more elastic the supply curve, the smaller the price increase.
Explanation:
If the demand for the product increases, demand would exceed supply and a scarcity would occur. The scarcity would lead to a rise in price and fall in quantity.
The severity of the scarcity depends on how fast supply is to respond to the scarcity. If supply can easily respond to the increase in price by increasing supply, the smaller the price increase would be.
Supply is elastic if a small change in price leads to a greater change in the quantity supplied.
