Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The law of supply and demand asserts that
A
demand curves and supply curves tend to shift to the right as time goes by.
B
when the supply curve for a good shifts, the demand curve for that good shifts in response.
C
the price of a good will eventually rise in response to an excess demand for that good.
D
the equilibrium price of a good will be rising more often than it will be falling.
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: -Supply is generally considered to slope upward: as the price rises, suppliers are willing to produce more. Demand is generally considered to slope downward: at higher prices, consumers buy less.

Detailed explanation-3: -The law of supply says that when prices rise, companies see more profit potential and increase the supply of goods and services. The law of demand states that as prices rise, customers buy less. Theoretically, a free market will move toward an equilibrium quantity and price where supply and demand intersect.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
