Solution

The correct answer is:

a) little; lower

In a competitive market with external benefits, the market price will result in too little of the good for economic efficiency. This is because the market price does not take into account the external benefits, and thus underestimates the true social value of the good. Consequently, the market price will be lower than the price that would convince producers to produce the efficient amount.
