Perla Shaw · Answer 2

(B) diamonds are a nonrenewable resource, making them scarce.

Now from an Economist perspective, she bought a diamond necklace when the price was low, she knows that sooner or later the prices will go up. Cecilia knows that the only way to increase the value of diamonds is to make them scarce. How then do mining companies make diamonds scarce, they simply reduce production, and then the price will go up.
