A
It is totally horizontal (flat)
B
It is completely vertical (straight up & down)
C
It looks like the upslope of a mountain
D
It looks like the downslope of a mountain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The supply curve normally rises from left to right. This is because the increase in the supply of a product results in an increase in the product’s price. On the other hand, the decrease in the product price leads to a reduction in supply. Therefore, it is correct to argue that the correct answer is option b.

Detailed explanation-2: -The supply curve is upward sloping to show that the suppliers increase their supply of a good when the price increases and vice versa. A market supply curve is derived by horizontally adding up the individual supply curves of a good.

Detailed explanation-3: -A supply curve is a graph that shows how a change in the price of a good or service affects the quantity a seller supplies. Price is listed on the vertical y-axis, while quantity supplied is listed on the horizontal x-axis.
