    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    A supply shock is a situation in which the price of the natural resource increases which result in an increase in the cost of production of the goods. This increase in the cost of production of the goods induces the producers to produce less amount of goods which reduces the supply of goods. This will lead to shift the short run supply curve of the goods leftwards and therefore, there is an increase in the price of the goods.
