A
the law of supply
B
the law of demand
C
the law of increasing cost
D
the law of maximum satisfaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of demand states that when the price of a product goes up, the quantity demanded will go down – and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Law of Demand In other words, the higher the price, the lower the level of demand. Because buyers have finite resources, their spending on a given product or commodity is limited as well, so higher prices reduce the quantity demanded. Conversely, demand rises as the product becomes more affordable.

Detailed explanation-4: -The law of demand is a fundamental principle of economics that states that at a higher price, consumers will demand a lower quantity of a good. Demand is derived from the law of diminishing marginal utility, the fact that consumers use economic goods to satisfy their most urgent needs first.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
