Answer:

b. A rise in the price of popsicles, a substitute for ice cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

A shift in the demand curve to the right indicates an increase in demand.

If the price of a subsituite increases, demand increases.

An unexpected cold reduces demand and shifts the demand curve to the left.

Changes in price leads to movement along the demand curve.

A reduction in cost of production affects the supply curve.
