B
produce less goods
C
demand
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Economists call this positive relationship between price and quantity supplied-that a higher price leads to a higher quantity supplied and a lower price leads to a lower quantity supplied-the law of supply.

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 is the microeconomic law that states that, all other factors being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity of goods or services that suppliers offer will increase, and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -If there is an increase in supply for goods and services while demand remains the same, prices tend to fall to a lower equilibrium price and a higher equilibrium quantity of goods and services.
