A  The equilibrium quantity decreased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium price because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

B  The equilibrium price increased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium quantity because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

C  The equilibrium quantity increased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium price because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

D  The equilibrium price decreased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium quantity because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.
