Uriah Boyer · Answer 1

a.) an increase in consumer incomes.

Explanation:

The natural gas and heating oil is considered as normal goods. Every person in the country cannot use theses goods on daily basis. So the increase in demand for the natural gas can be due to the increase in the incomes of the consumers so that they could afford these items for daily use.

Hence the answer is option a.
