Andrea · Answer 1

Option (2) is correct.

Explanation:

A supply curve is a graphical representation of quantity supplied of a commodity at every price level. The law of supply states that there is a direct relationship between the price of the product and the quantity supplied of the product.

This is one of the main reason of upward sloping supply curve. This means that as the price of a product increases then as a result the quantity supplied for that good also increases.

Demand curve is a downward sloping curve which shows that there is an inverse relationship between the price of the good and the quantity demanded for that good.
