Answer 1

The correct answer is option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

John owns hot dog stands that sell hot dogs in New York City. He employs vendors to sell hot dogs at these stands.

A decrease in the price of hot dogs will reduce the revenue and profits earned by John. So John will hire fewer workers for his stands to reduce costs.

This will cause John's demand for hot dog vendors to decline.
