Final answer:

The cost of a pound of dates after the fire cannot be determined based on the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a pound of dates after the fire cannot be determined based on the information given.

The answer is d) Not enough information to determine.

Since the question does not provide any information about the extent of the damage or the impact on the supply and demand of dates, it is impossible to determine the future price.

It is also possible that the price could fluctuate due to other market factors unrelated to the fire.
