B

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of supply states that a higher price leads to a higher quantity supplied and that a lower price leads to a lower quantity supplied.

Detailed explanation-2: -The law of supply states that there is a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied. In other words, when the price increases the quantity supplied also increases. This is represented by an upward sloping line from left to right.

Detailed explanation-3: -The law of supply says that a higher price will induce producers to supply a higher quantity to the market. Because businesses seek to increase revenue, when they expect to receive a higher price for something, they will produce more of it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Buyers will go on purchasing as long as the satisfaction they derive from consuming is greater than the price they pay (the marginal utility of consumption). If prices rise, additional suppliers will be enticed to enter the market. Supply will increase until a market-clearing price is reached again.

Detailed explanation-5: -How a Supply Curve Works. The supply curve will move upward from left to right, which expresses the law of supply: As the price of a given commodity increases, the quantity supplied increases (all else being equal).
