Answer:

Option "a" is correct.

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

The last year supply of Cocoa nibs at $9 = 10 pounds

This year the supply of Cocoa nibs at $12 = 10 pounds

The supply and price of a commodity are directly related to each other. Thus it is given that price increases from $9 to $12. So, the producer will induce to supply more quantity when the price increases.

Therefore, Option "a" is correct.
