Answer #1

Option 'A' is correct.

As consumer's preference shift toward X from Y, quantity demanded for X will increase and quantity demanded for Y will decrease. As a result, demand curve in X shifts right, increasing the equilibrium quantity and demand curve of Y will shift left thereby decreasing the equilibrium quantity.

Note : You haven't provided the graph of Industry X in figure 12.4(only Industry Y graph is provided), so it is assumed that either supply has increased to cope up with the demand or remains unchanged. Because the decrease in supply and increase in demand will lead to some other answer.
