Answer:

C. Producers will prevent the price level from increasing and hurting their sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the FED buys securities from the public, the money supply increases and this raises the general price levels.

When general price level increases, workers would demand higher wages and the prices of goods and services would rise.

I hope my answer helps you
