Final Answer : A, Explanation :  If tuition is increased by 5%, it is likely that some students may choose not to enroll due to the increased cost, resulting in a reduction in the number of students enrolling. However, the percentage by which the number of enrolled students will be reduced may not necessarily be 5%. It could be less than 5%.
