Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Equilibrium means a state of equality or balance between market demand and supply. Refers to a price at which both parties producers and consumers are agreed to exchange.

Prices where demand and supply are out of balance are called points of disequilibrium.

If the selling prices is over the equilibrium price, means that there is a surplus of excess supply, so the prices would go down to returned to the equilibrium price.
