Correct answer is B

Technological advances that improve production efficiency will shift a supply curve to the right. The cost of production goes down, and consumers will demand more of the product at lower prices. Computers, televisions and photographic equipment are good examples of the effects of technology on a supply curve. Changes in technology can affect the demand for different products or the demand for related products. It can increase the market for a product by increasing the demand for a new product and making an older product obsolete.
