Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rise in the price of spinach would lead to a movement along the demand curve for spinach as consumers would decrease the quantity demanded in response to the higher price. However, it would not shift the demand curve itself. The other options, such as a newly discovered health benefit or an increase in income for spinach lovers, would shift the demand curve for spinach. An increase in the price of broccoli, a substitute for spinach, would also shift the demand curve for spinach as consumers may shift their preferences towards spinach if broccoli becomes relatively more expensive.
