Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an import restriction is imposed, the supply of mangoes available in the US decreases, which increases the price due to reduced availability. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A and D are incorrect because the reduction in supply will not lead to a decrease in price, and the restriction specifically targets mangoes, not mango juice. Option C is not relevant as the question is about import restrictions affecting mangoes, not domestic production.
