Answer:
The correct answer is E. Initial public offering.
Explanation:
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is an equity offering where a <u>private company</u> or '<u>issuer</u>' decides to <em>go public for the first time</em>. This is a big step for companies to raise capital through public investors, get access to better and more credit and further grow a company. To go through with an IPO, a company must meet the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC).

Underwriters take care of the offering from the beginning to the end of the IPO by preparing documentation, providing proposals on selling price, amount of shares & timeframe for the market offering, marketing campaigns and going through the issuing process.

A Supply shock is described as a situation where the supply of a good changes suddenly/ abruptly due to an unforeseen event.
Supply shocks can be positive but are usually negative so we will assume the supply shock is negative here.
If there is a negative supply shock, the amount of goods being produced will reduce abruptly which will force the supply curve to shift left.
It will then intercept the the demand curve at an equilibrium level that has a higher price and a lower quantity of output.
Think of it this way. Negative supply shock ⇒ less goods ⇒ scarcity ⇒ higher prices.
