    Answer:c. shift to the left, causing the equilibrium price to increase.

    Explanation:An increase in incomes means the more people will be buying goods and this will lead to an increase in demand, excess demand means businesses can increase prices of their goods. This means they will be producing more products since consumers are demanding and buying more as they can afford to do so.

    This increases the supply hence shifting the supply curve to the left.
