Hmm, I'm not sure. 0.8 elasticity means supply is somewhat responsive to price changes. I guess C could be right, but I'm not convinced that producer incomes will necessarily rise. Guess I better brush up on my economics before the exam.

Well, this seems straightforward. With a price elasticity of supply of 0.8, I'd say option C is the correct answer. Price will rise more than proportionately, and more will be spent on the good. Sounds like a win-win for the producers!
