If fixed cost rises then the break even point will also rise, if the Variable price per unit and Sales price per unit remain constant

IF FIXED COST RISES, breakeven point will also rise.

Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit.

Hence increase in fixed cost with Contribution per unit remaining the same, will bring a rise in Breakeven point.

All other things being constant, an increase in the fixed costs will result an increase in the break even point. Thus, choice B, rise is the correct answer.
