    The correct answer is "Actions intended to make economic outcomes fairer may cause efficiency to decrease"

    Explanation:

    "Actions intended to make economic outcomes fairer may cause efficiency to decrease"

    An equity-efficiency trade-off appears when an increase in the productive efficiency of a market leads to a reduction in its equity.

    A clear example of equity-efficiency trade-off is the "fracking" (fuel extract method). The government takes benefits of this because is a more efficient method and is cheaper than the conventional extract method, however, it brings environmental issues, and leads to a reduction in its environmental equity.
