Answer: e. would negatively affect producers but positively affect consumers because producers must accept lower prices.

Explanation:

Deflation is the opposite of inflation and as such refers to a sustained decrease in prices of goods and services in a country over a period.

As prices are decreasing, producers will have no choice but to decrease their prices as well due to lower input costs as well as to remain competitive. This will benefit consumers who would then be able to buy goods and services at a lower rate.
