Answer:

C) A decrease in equilibrium price and increase in the equilibrium quantity of oil.

Explanation:

Equilibrium price is the price in which the quantity of goods demanded matches the quantity of goods offered, same for the equilibrium quantity. When these two variables cross, we reach economic equilibrium.

If the U.S. drills more oil, the supply oil will increase, lowering the price until the demand for oil is met.

This is what is currently happening in the world: because the U.S. has increased oil production, the price of oil in the U.S. and the rest of the world has lowered. In other words, the equilibrium price of oil has decreased and the equilibrium quantity has increased.

What is the difference between immigration and settler colonialism
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Immigrants can enrich a nation. But there is a difference between immigrants and colonists. The former are eager to learn<span> the ways of their adopted home, to integrate and perhaps assimilate — which does not require relinquishing their heritage or forgetting their roots. Colonists, by contrast, bring their culture with them and live under their own laws. Their loyalties lie elsewhere.</span>

What were two causes of the movement known as the Great Migration during the early twentieth century?
Alinara [238K]
The answer is B.
The Great Migration was the movement of six million African Americans from the Southern U.S. to the North. As you probably know, back in the 1900's, segregation of African Americans was on the rise. At the time, the North was not involved in this segregation, so African Americans migrated to the Northern states to escape discrimination.
