C) decreases a tax on the good sold in that market.

Explanation:

If the government lowers taxes, then the price of goods should always decrease.

Option A is wrong because a price floor sets a minimum price, and if it increases, the price paid by consumers will increase.

Option B is wrong because a price ceiling sets a maximum price, and if it increases, the price paid by consumers will increase.
