a. She was able to charge more and demand increased.

Explanation:

As black pottery was something that wasn't seen very often, once Maria told the trader that it was special and rare, so then Maria was able to charge more for the black pottery and the demand for the black pottery increased because it became a rare item and an special item we could call it luxury item, so they were able to charge more because it was a rare and luxury item.

Hi!

The answer to your question would be option A. She was able to charge more and demand increased.

Explanation:

As we remember, the pottery turned black when it became covered with manure and oxygen was reduced. Because this was unusual, Maria was able to tell the trader that the black pottery was special, and since people tend to pay more for unsual objects or objects that are considered of "one of a kind", Maria was able to increase the price.
