During August 2013, a prolonged strike in north-east India, the region where the best and most costly Darjeeling tea is produced, brought the tea industry to a halt at the time of harvest. On a demand and supply diagram for Darjeeling tea, what is the most probable effect of this situation?
- AThe price will rise because demand will switch to other teas.
- BThe price will rise because the strike will cause a movement down the supply curve.
- CThe price will rise because the supply curve will move to the left.
- DThe price will rise because there will be a fall in demand for the remaining Darjeeling tea.
