Answer 1

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opening up of sixty new grocery stores will increase the supply of food in the market. As a result, the supply curve will shift to the right.

This rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the equilibrium price to decrease and equilibrium quantity to increase.

So we see that opening up of these grocery stores is affecting the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.
