C. Decrease No Effect.

Explanation:

This could result in decrease in internal rate of return and also has no effect in the payback period.

On the other hand, many factors can cause an investment to have a negative rate of return. Poor performance by a company or companies, turmoil within a sector or the entire economy, and inflation all are capable of eroding the value of the investment. Rate of return is the amount an investment gains (or loses) over a period of time. It is expressed as a percentage of the initial value of the investment.
