Answer:

a. does not shift

b. shifts to the left

c. increases

a. decreases

Explanation:

As a result of the drought affecting the supply of cream, the supply of chocolate would fall. As a result, the supply curve would shift to the left. The demand curve would remain unchanged.

As a result of the leftward shift of the supply curve, the equilibrium price would increase and quantity would fall.
