The answer is: A) quantity of output is higher than it was previously.

Explanation:

The Law of Supply states that, all other factors remaining equal, as the price of a product or service increases, the quantity of products or services offered by suppliers will increase, and vice versa.

In other words, if the price of a good increases, suppliers will try to maximize their profit by offering more goods.
