Farmers would produce more crops to increase supply.


The grocery store would lay off several employees.


The grocery store would invest in more displays.


The families would have to begin growing their own food.

Answer 1

The grocery store would lay off several employees.

Explanation: If many families spend less, demand and store revenue fall. To cut costs, the store is most likely to reduce staffing. The other options (farmers producing more, more displays, or all families growing food) are less likely responses.
