Answer:

B. the quantity of pineapples demanded

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the law of demand, the demand for a product is inversely related to its price. An increase in price will result in the demand moving in the opposite direction. A reduction in price leads to an increment in demand.

An increase in the supply of pineapple will result in a decline in their prices. A low price will attract more pineapple buyers. A bigger percentage will of Hawaiian will afford to buy the pineapples. Those who were restricted to smaller quantities by the high price will afford a relatively larger quantity.
