C
Change in interest rates
D
Cost of production change
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An increase in wages will shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left.

Detailed explanation-2: -The aggregate supply curve shifts to the right as productivity increases or the price of key inputs falls, making a combination of lower inflation, higher output, and lower unemployment possible.

Detailed explanation-3: -Higher prices for inputs that are widely used across the entire economy, such as labor or energy, can have a macroeconomic impact on aggregate supply. Increases in the price of such inputs represent a negative supply shock, shifting the SRAS curve to shift to the left.

Detailed explanation-4: -The supply curve can shift based on several factors including changes in production costs (e.g., raw materials and labor costs), technological progress, the level of competition and number of sellers/producers, and the regulatory & tax environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -An increase in input prices will cause the aggregate supply curve to shift rightward.
