    Correct.

    Explanation:

    If the cost of production of 4K televisions decreases then as a result this will increase the supply of 4K televisions and shifts the supply curve of 4K televisions rightwards.

    At the same time, there is a unfavorable change in the consumer preference. Now, consumers prefer to watch television programs on their smartphones, tablets or laptops. This will shift the demand curve of 4K televisions leftwards.
