Answer 1

The answer is C. Price would decrease, and quantity would decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

When the demand for a good decreases, the equilibrium price will decrease and equilibrium quantity too will decrease.

The decrease in demand results in excess supply at the prevailing market price and excess supply will make price to drop and if this happens, the law of supply (the lower the price the lower the quantity supplied) will come to play, thereby decreasing quantity supplied.
