Answer:
D) The supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase
Explanation:
The externality here is a negative one where the hydroelectric plants has to bear the cost of pollution as the paper mills operates.
Correcting means to make the paper mills pay for the external costs of their production and compensate the power plant for the additional cost that incurred as they have to clean up the water.
As the cost of production reduces, the power plant will be more willing to supply electricity at similar prices, ie. their supply curve will shift to the right. It will intersect with the demand curve of the consumers at a point with higher quantity (and maybe lower price)
In other words, they will supply more electricity.
