Explanation / Answer

c is the answer

Increase in cost of production leads to decrease in supply and hence supply curve shifts to left.

Whereas this awareness leads to decrease in demand and hence demand curve also shifts to left.

Due to this equilibrium quantity definitely decreases but the effect on price depends on how much supply and demand has changed. Price is unchanged if demand and supply shifts by same amount. But if demand falls more than fall in supply, price will decrease.
