When comparing the equilibriums in the lobster market for August and​ November, the equilibrium quantity is​ lower in November than in​ August, while the equilibrium price is​ higher,​ lower, or unchanged.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A state of market where market supply is equal to market demand thus understood as "market equilibrium". The price of equilibrium is the price of a good or service, if its supply is equal to the market demand for it.

A reduction in demand will trigger the price of the equilibrium to fall; the amount delivered will decrease. An increase in supply, unmodified for all other things, will provoke the price of equilibrium to fall; the amount requested will increase. While declining supply will cause the price of the equilibrium to rise; the demanded quantity will decrease.
