Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Without access to Figure 14.1.4 or specific details about the shifts in leisure and labor supply, it's impossible to accurately determine the income effect of a wage decrease on hours of leisure. The correct answer would depend on visual or descriptive information about how the wage decrease affects the individual's budget constraint and utility maximization, which is not provided here.
