A requirement by universities that all students buy personal computers would increase the demand for personal computers. This is because there would be a new group of consumers who would need to purchase personal computers in order to fulfill this requirement. None of the other options would directly increase demand for personal computers. A reduction in price (A) or an increase in supply (B) could lead to an increase in quantity demanded, but not necessarily an increase in demand. An increase in the number of computer manufacturers (D) would increase supply, not demand. An increase in the cost of computer paper (E) would not directly affect the demand for personal computers.
