I recall that if the discount rate is underestimated, correcting it usually means NPV goes down, but I can't remember if IRR stays the same or not.

I feel like the IRR is more about the rate of return rather than the discount rate itself, so I'm a bit confused about how it would change.

I think I practiced a similar question where a higher discount rate led to a lower NPV, so maybe A is correct?

I remember that increasing the discount rate generally decreases the NPV, but I'm not sure how it affects the IRR.
