D. is temporary in the short run, while in the long run, it is canceled out because the cost effect dominates.

Explanation:

Supply curve is the total output quantity that will be produced and sold by a firm.

In the short run, prices of produce are fixed. There is a positive relationship between price and Gross domestic product, which means that producers or suppliers are able to make profit due to price increase for outputs and price decrease for inputs.

In the long run, the profit is canceled out due to cost effect, which means that there is an increase in price input compared to output.
