Answer:

B) oil prices would probably rise

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the laws that describe the forces of supply and demand, if the quantity provided by producers decreases, and the amount demanded stays equal, there would be an excess of demand and the prices will rise in order to correct such a market disequilibrium . In fact, OPEC uses this strategy of cutting total production when they feel that prices are lowering, with the objective of enhancing them.
