Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": demand for consumer goods and services.

Step-by-step explanation:

Derived Demand refers to the demand proceeding from intermediaries of certain goods or services. This type of demand is typically associated with requests for products (tangibles and intangibles) that have the capacity of producing goods or services.

Thus, the derived demand for industrial products is derived by the demand of the final consumers who are in charge of manufacturing the goods or rendering the service.
