Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. Increasing

Explanation:

An increasing-cost industry is an industry whose costs for production increase as more companies compete.

Why is this so? - This is because each new company in the industry increases its demand for supplies and factors needed for production.

A decreasing‐cost industry is one where costs of production reduces as the industry expands.
