Option A. Demand decreases and supply remains the same. Hope this helps :)

The correct answer is: "demand decreases and supply remains the same".

If the demand curve decreases and experiences a shift to the left while the supply curve remains in its original position, it can be claimed that both the price charged and the amount exchanged (quantity demanded = quantity supplied) have decreased in this market in the newly-reached equilibrium point. The graph attached illustrates this situation.
