Answer:

c. a smaller quantity of that good and a larger quantity of substitutes for that good.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

If the relative price of a good increases, consumers respond by buying less of the good and more of the substituite good.

Subsituite goods are at least two goods considered similar by a consumer and can be used in place of each other by the consumer.
