A change in price, other things constant, causes a ____ a demand curve.
A
movement along
B
shift of
C
substitutes of
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A change in the price of a good or service causes a movement along a specific demand curve, and it typically leads to some change in the quantity demanded, but it does not shift the demand curve.

Detailed explanation-2: -A change in quantity demanded refers to a movement along the demand curve, which is caused only by a change in price.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Law of Demand Because buyers have finite resources, their spending on a given product or commodity is limited as well, so higher prices reduce the quantity demanded. Conversely, demand rises as the product becomes more affordable. As a result, demand curves slope downward from left to right, as in the chart below.

Detailed explanation-4: -A demand curve shift refers to fundamental changes in the balance of supply and demand that alter the quantity demanded at the same price. For example, you may be willing to buy 10 apples at $1. If the grocery store drops the price to $0.75, then that demand curve movement means you might buy 15 apples instead of 10.
