Answer:
(C) an increase in the price of the item
Explanation:
The law of supply states that the higher the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
This law is premised on the fact that suppliers of a commodity are motivated to supply more at higher prices than at lower prices.
Though Options A and B will, to some extent, lead to an increase in the quantity supplied, the law of supply relates only the price to the change in quantity supplied.
