Answer 1

Answer:

C. When the price of a good increases, its demand decreases.

Explanation:

The law of demand is one of the most fundamental concepts in economics, according to which the demand varies inversely with the price of a product.  This means that, if the price of a good increases, its demand decreases. For example, if someone wants to buy bottled water, they are more likely to buy more bottles if they are cheaper.
