decreases
B
reverses
C
increases
D
remains the same
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. This is the Law of Demand.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inverse Relationship of Price and Demand Thus, the price of a product and the quantity demanded for that product have an inverse relationship, as stated in the law of demand. An inverse relationship means that higher prices result in lower quantity demand and lower prices result in higher quantity demand.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inelastic demand is when a buyer’s demand for a product does not change as much as its change in price. When price increases by 20% and demand decreases by only 1%, demand is said to be inelastic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Demand Increase: price increases, quantity increases. Demand Decrease: price decreases, quantity decreases. Supply Increase: price decreases, quantity increases.

Detailed explanation-5: -A decrease in demand and an increase in supply will cause a fall in equilibrium price, but the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be determined. 1. For any quantity, consumers now place a lower value on the good, and producers are willing to accept a lower price; therefore, price will fall.
