The correct answer is D.

The upgrades in the physical capital used in the production process, have made possible to manufacture the product more efficiently (more bars obtained in the same plant) than before. Therefore, production costs are reduced, the producers would be willing to supply a larger amount than before at all price levels and the supply curve shifts to the right.
