When a product is in high demand, prices usually:
A
Decrease
B
Fluctuate
C
Increase
D
Remain the same
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of supply and demand states that when the demand for a good or service is higher than the supply, prices are likely to rise. In these circumstances, suppliers tend to produce more to satisfy the demand and take advantage of the margin opportunities.

Detailed explanation-2: -It’s a fundamental economic principle that when supply exceeds demand for a good or service, prices fall. When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to rise. There is an inverse relationship between the supply and prices of goods and services when demand is unchanged.

Detailed explanation-3: -An increase in demand and a decrease in supply will cause an increase in equilibrium price, but the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be detennined. 1. For any quantity, consumers now place a higher value on the good, and producers must have a higher price in order to supply the good; therefore, price will increase.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
