-Refer to Figure .Suppose some of the preexisting firms adopt the cost effective technology of the innovator while non-adopters that are incurring losses shut down.The high cost sellers produce the rest of the market output.What will happen to the equilibrium price level?

A) The price level will fall below P0 but remain positive.
B) The price level will remain at P0.
C) The price level will rise above P0.
D) The price level will fall to zero.
