Solution
The correct option is A Price will increase The Laissez-Faire principle did not allow the government to interfere in the affairs of private businesses. It liked to leave the market to change naturally, according to the laws of supply and demand. Thus, in such a state, when the demand for a product increases, its price automatically increases, according to the law of the market.
