Answer 2

Answer:

C)Shipping expenses will increase

Explanation:

The price of oil varies according to various politicians, economists and when discoveries of new oil wells occur. Oil is the fuel used for transportation. When its value increases, all shipping costs also increase. This will cause an increase in the price of product shipments to end consumers. On the other hand, if oil prices fall, shipments will be cheaper for consumers.
