The correct answer is (C)

Explanation:

A supply shock negatively effects the inventory stock of an item or product which leads to increase in the overall holding cost. A positive inventory shock leads to an increase in the overall inventory, while a negative shock decrease the output which leads to increase in the overall cost of goods and services. A negative shock can increase the overall prices of goods and services.
