Answer is c.

Explanation:

The AD curve is a result of the aggregate demand/aggregate supply model.

The AD curve shifts if there is a change of its components. So

However, an increase in market power of the airline industry doesn't mean the increase of any aggregate demand of the macro economy. Therefore answer is c.

The aggregate demand curve, or AD curve, shifts to the right as the components of aggregate demand—consumption spending, investment spending, government spending, and spending on exports minus imports—rise. The AD curve will shift back to the left as these components fall.
