Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A price increase motivates suppliers to avail more products for sale in the markets. High prices tend to have a high margin hence more profits. Like other businesses, oil producers are profit-motivated; they will supply more quantities if there is a high probability of making more profits.

The law of supply explains the correlation between supply and price. As prices increase, supply also tends to increase.
