The Answer is Option 4

the increase in the marginal cost shifts the marginal cost to up and decrease the output as the firm produces at MR=MC so increase in the marginal cost increases the price and decreases output because the demand curve is same and a decrease in quantity increases the price as we move upward along the same demand curve.
