Answer:

C.) The law will have no impact on the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum wage refers that the producers could charge high amount as compared with the wages i.e. minimum also the equilibrium wage would be more than the minimum wage so this represents that the market is an equilibrium point and hence there is no impact on the market

Therefore the option C is correct

And, hence all the other options are wrong
