Hi there,

The answer is c AND d…both are literally the definition of a demand curve!

So, the demand curve is essentially how many units I will sell at a given price.

As prices go up, fewer people will buy (generally). As prices go down, more people will buy.

Elasticity affects how quickly this dropoff occurs.

I highly highly recommend you look this up to get some better definitions/examples on this!

Question: Why does OPEC group together to cut output?

Answer: Demand for oil is highly inelastic. Therefore, a small decrease in quantity will jump up prices a lot more (more than 1 for 1)…so, total revenues/profits end up higher!
