B) If c stays constant but n is increased, both the producer's risk and the consumer's risk will decrease.
C) If n stays constant but c is increased, the producer's risk will decrease and the consumer's risk will increase.
D) If n stays constant but c is increased, the producer's risk will increase and the consumer's risk will decrease.

The producer's risk is the risk of rejecting a good lot, while the consumer's risk is the risk of accepting a bad lot. Increasing c means that the acceptance number is decreased, thereby decreasing the producer's risk and increasing the consumer's risk. However, if n stays constant but c is increased, the sample size is smaller, which means the inspection is less thorough and the risk for both parties will change accordingly. Therefore, if n stays constant but c is increased, the producer's risk will decrease and the consumer's risk will increase.
