In general, as price increases, the quantity demanded by people goes down; as price decreases, the quantity demanded by people rises. This principle is known as what?
A
the law of demand
B
the law of diminishing marginal utility
C
a change in quantity demanded
D
a change in demand
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Law of Demand. As we can see on the demand graph, there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. Economists call this the Law of Demand. If the price goes up, the quantity demanded goes down (but demand itself stays the same). If the price decreases, quantity demanded increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -This means that as price decreases, the quantity demanded increases. Any change or movement to quantity demanded is involved as a movement of the point along the demand curve and not a shift in the demand curve itself.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Definition: The law of demand states that other factors being constant (cetris peribus), price and quantity demand of any good and service are inversely related to each other. When the price of a product increases, the demand for the same product will fall.
