Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A movement from B to A on a demand curve represents a decrease in the quantity demanded, which is caused by an increase in the price of the product itself. However, without seeing the figure, the correct interpretation based on the options provided is that a decrease in the price of laptops (C) would typically cause a movement along the demand curve to a point where more laptops are demanded, not less. Given the options and typical economic theory, none directly explain a movement from B to A as described. However, the correct interpretation of economic principles would suggest an increase in the price (D) would cause a movement up along the demand curve, reducing quantity demanded. The initial guidance seems to have misinterpreted the options in relation to standard economic movements on graphs.
