C. the goods have low accessibility
D. the products are important the goods have substitutes

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "E": the goods have substitutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dependence is a characteristic of certain goods that because of their importance certain groups of individuals or organizations cannot stop consuming them. People, in general, have a dependence on consumer staples such as food, drugs, and basic household products, for instance.

Dependence is low when the goods have many substitutes since if one of them fails in supply or raises its price to unreasonable levels, individuals will have options from where to choose to replace it.
