Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider what the concept of demand implies about how quantity demanded responds to price changes.
Option 1: 'suppliers wish to sell less of it.' This reflects a supply-side idea, not demand. The statement misattributes the effect of price on sellers, whereas the question is about how demand reacts to price, not supply.
Option 2: 'more of it is produced.' Increased price can incentivize higher production through the supply side, but the question is about the nature of demand. Production decisions relate to supply, risk of shifting attention to an effect that depends on costs and producers’ behavior rather than consumers’ demand.
Option 3: 'more of it is desired.' This would suggest that higher prices elicit greater quantity demanded, which contradicts the law of demand. Generally, when price rises, consumers purchase less, not more, unless unusual circumstances (like Giffen or Veblen effects) apply, which are not indicated here.
Option 4: 'buyers desire to purchase less of it.' This aligns with the fundamental law of demand: holding other factors constant, as price increases, quantity demanded falls because consumers substitute toward cheaper goods or forgo the purchase altogether. This correctly captures the nature of demand responding negatively to price changes.
