D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A demand curve shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of the good demanded, either by an individual or by all participants in the market. Demand curves are downward-sloping for most items as greater quantities are demanded at lower prices.

Detailed explanation-2: -demand curve, in economics, a graphic representation of the relationship between product price and the quantity of the product demanded. It is drawn with price on the vertical axis of the graph and quantity demanded on the horizontal axis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -supply curve, in economics, graphic representation of the relationship between product price and quantity of product that a seller is willing and able to supply. Product price is measured on the vertical axis of the graph and quantity of product supplied on the horizontal axis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Demand is generally considered to slope downward: at higher prices, consumers buy less. The point at which the two curves intersect represents the market-clearing price-the price at which demand and supply are the same. Prices can change for many reasons (technology, consumer preference, weather conditions).
