Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If there is movement on a demand curve, we call the resulting change in quantity consumers buy
A
a change in quantity demanded
B
a change in demand
C
a change in both quantity demanded and a shift in demand
D
a shift in demand
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A change in demand means that the entire demand curve shifts either left or right. The initial demand curve D0 shifts to become either D1 or D2. This could be caused by a shift in tastes, changes in population, changes in income, prices of substitute or complement goods, or changes future expectations.

Detailed explanation-2: -A change in any one of the underlying factors that determine what quantity people are willing to buy at a given price will cause a shift in demand. Graphically, the new demand curve lies either to the right (an increase) or to the left (a decrease) of the original demand curve.

Detailed explanation-3: -A change in quantity demanded is represented as a movement along a demand curve. The proportion that quantity demanded changes relative to a change in price is known as the elasticity of demand and is related to the slope of the demand curve.
