(c) TEA MARKET : As the price of sugar goes down , the the demand for tea increases because tea and sugar are the complementary goods. Therefore, by decraese in the price of sugar, demand curve for tea shifts rightward i.e increases. It is shown in the below figure:

(d) COFFEE MARKET : As there is a freeze in brazil that severely damages the coffee crop. This will decrease the supply of coffee. So, the supply curve for coffee will shift leftward . It is shown in the below figure:

(e) FAST FOOD MARKET: As the number of fast-food retaurants in an area decreases. Then ,it implies that there is decrease in number of sellers who sell fast food , this will decrease the supply of fast food. Hence the supply curve will shift leftward. It is shown in the below figure:
