    Option (c) is correct.

    Explanation:

    We know that beef is used as an ingredient or input in making hamburgers. If the price of the input i. e beef increases then as a result supply of hamburgers decreases because of the higher cost of production. This will shift the supply curve leftwards, its shows that lesser supply with same level of demand will lead to higher prices of hamburgers.
