Solution

The income effect of a price change is best described by statement a. "When the price of a good falls, consumers have an implicit increase in income and can now buy more of the good." This is because the income effect refers to the change in consumption resulting from a change in real income. Here, the decrease in price is like an increase in income because consumers can now buy more with the same amount of money.
