B) "Buyers have a negative incentive to purchase larger quantities of widgets at lower prices. As the price drops, there is an direct relationship to the quantity demanded." C) "Consumers are willing and able to purchase various quantities of widgets at prices up to approximately $5. At higher prices, they will demand fewer widgets. But at lower prices, they will demand a greater number of widgets." D) "The law of supply states that widget prices are inversely related to the quantity that will be offered for sale.

Answer: C) "Consumers are willing and able to purchase various quantities of widgets at prices up to approximately $5. At higher prices, they will demand fewer widgets. But at lower prices, they will demand a greater number of widgets.

Explanation: The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. The market demand curve represents this relationship. As you can see on the graph, "Consumers are willing and able to purchase various quantities of widgets at prices up to approximately $5. At higher prices, they will demand fewer widgets. But at lower prices, they will demand a greater number of widgets"
