Answer 1

The increase in the price of orange juice, which is a substitute for apple juice, may lead to an upward movement along the supply curve for apple juice. This is because as the price of orange juice rises, producers may be incentivized to allocate more resources to produce apple juice, anticipating greater demand for it as a substitute.

So, the correct answer is:

**an upward movement along the supply curve for apple juice**
