Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

when firms enter into an industry, there are more firms competing for customers. This would shift the demand curve to the right as supply increases. An increase in supply would lead to a reduction in price.

If firms leave the industry, there would be a reduction in supply and price would increase
