The correct answer is: B. falls<\/strong><\/p>\n A substitute is a good or service that can be used in place of another good or service. For example, coffee and tea are substitutes. If the price of coffee rises, people may switch to drinking tea instead. A complement is a good or service that is used together with another good or service. For example, cars and gasoline are complements. If the price of gasoline rises, people may drive less, which will reduce the demand for cars.<\/p>\n When both the price of a substitute and the price of a complement of commodity X rise, the demand for X will fall. This is because people will be more likely to switch to other goods or services that are now relatively cheaper.<\/p>\n Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:<\/p>\n [amp_mcq option1=”rises” option2=”falls” option3=”remains unchanged” option4=”all of the above are possible” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economics","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
