If newsprint becomes more expensive, it will increase the cost of producing newspapers which will result in higher prices for consumers. This will cause people to reduce their purchases of newspapers, resulting in a decline in the quantity of newspapers sold. The options B, C, and D are unlikely to result in a decline in the quantity of newspapers sold.

Lastly, if magazine prices rise, consumers may switch to buying more newspapers resulting in an increase in the quantity of newspapers sold.
