During the spring of 2015, the United Kingdom experienced a brief period of deflation. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, "The U. K.'s history of sticky and hard-to-control inflation suggests that a short period of falling prices will be taken as a reprieve for consumers, not as a signal to defer purchases." Source: Richard Barley, "U. K. Deflation More Curiosity Than Concern," Wall Street Journal, May 19, 2015.

a. producers may offer more to choose from in the future.
b. prices would be higher in the future.
c. prices would be lower in the future
d. producers may increase product quality in the future.
