Drake Haney · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": equilibrium quantity to rise and the equilibrium price to fall.

Explanation:

Given the market for a certain product, in case both the demand and supply of that good increase, as the demand increases, the equilibrium quantity is likely to increase. Every time the equilibrium quantity increases, the equilibrium price tends to fall.
