Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": shortage costs increase as total carrying costs increase.

Explanation:

A shortage takes place when the quantity demanded is higher than the supply at the current price. Typically, shortages occur because of an increase in demand, a decrease in supply or due to government policies. Shortage costs are those costs a firm is responsible for because the is no enough stock in its inventory. When shortage costs increase, the carrying costs do not necessarily increase.
