Jean Collier · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": the supply curve for apples has shifted to the left.

Explanation:

The supply curve plots in a graph the relationship between the price and quantity supplied of a good or service. According to the supply law, that relationship is directly proportional meaning if the price rises the quantity demanded increases - the supply curve moves to the right - but if the prices fall the quantity demanded drops - the supply curve moves to the left.
