Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

If a buyer expects that the price of a good will decrease in the future, they stop or decrease the purchasing of that good today. A a result, the demand for that good today decreases. On the other hand, if a buyer expects that the price of the good will increase in the future, the demand for the good increases.

Option D. is correct.
