Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

As more consumers move in, the demand curve for the store's products would increase (shift to the right) as it is influenced by factors other than price.

While option A could be an eventual outcome, it would only follow an increase in Demand. Note that a change in price would result in movement along the curve.

There is not sufficient information to support Option C

Option D is wrong because higher demand would result in higher revenues, assuming all else remains constant.
