Correct option – Break-even point in units will NOT CHANGE
Effect of increase in selling price per unit by $2, increase in variable cost per unit by $2 on BEP in units:
An increase of $2 in selling price per unit and variable cost per unit would not change the contribution margin per unit.

Since, contribution margin per unit remains unchanged the BEP unit will NOT CHANGE.
