Answer 1

Option (a) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of demand, there is an inverse relationship between the price of the product and the quantity demanded for that product. Hence, if there is an increase in the price of the good then as a result this will decrease the quantity demanded for the good and if there is a fall in the prices of the goods then as a result the quantity demanded for the goods increases.

Therefore, the change in the price level of the goods represents the cause and its effect is the change in the quantity demanded for the goods that a consumer want to purchase.
