Answer: People respond to incentives

Step-by-step explanation:

What is an incentive?

An incentive refers to the punishment or reward that will affect how a person act towards a particular situation. Logically people decide their actions based on what the benefits will be.

Incentives determines the function of the market world for instance when a price of a particular brand of bread decide to raise their price people may decide to buy other brand of bread more than they buy the expensive brand of bread.
