d)a and b e)none of the above

Answer 1

a) the demand curve for freeway space shifts leftward.

Step-by-step explanation:

If more people join the carpools, there will be less car on the roads since they travel together, so less freeway space needed. Because the situation is not the change in price, at the certain level of price, people need less freeway space. Thus, the demand curve for freeway space shifts leftward.
