Answer:

D. higher profits will induce expanded production.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price of a good increases and the cost remains the same ,profits earned would increase.

For example if price of a pen was initially $5 and rose to $7. The cost of making a pen is $3. Total profit would rise from $2 to $4.

According to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the. quantity supplied. Therefore, the higher price would attract more producers and production would increase. Existing producers would also increase output.

I hope my answer helps you.
