Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Since George's weekly income has increased, his budget line will shift to the right. This means that he can now afford more of both doughnuts and coffee, since he has more money to allocate towards each good. However, since the prices of both goods have remained unchanged, the slope of the budget line will stay the same.
