Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All other things unchanged, the law of demand holds that, for virtually all goods and services, a higher price leads to a reduction in quantity demanded and a lower price leads to an increase in quantity demanded.

Detailed explanation-2: -Increase in price leads to increase in quantity supplied of a commodity. It does not lead to a shift in supply curve. Shift in supply curve is related to determinants, other than own price of the commodity.

Detailed explanation-3: -As seen above, the only factor that does not cause a shift of the supply curve is the change in the price of the good/service. This is because a change in the price of the product/service will cause a movement along the supply curve.
