Solution

In a perfectly competitive market, if the average revenue is less than the long-run average cost, it means that firms are making losses. In the long run, firms cannot sustain losses and will exit the market. As firms exit the market, the industry supply curve will shift to the left. So, the answer is a. leftward.
