An increase in the price of outboard motors could make recreational fishing boats more expensive, thereby reducing demand for them. This would be an example of a supply-side factor affecting demand.

The size and number of fish available (choice C) could also potentially affect demand, but this would be more of a demand-side factor (i.e. if fish populations decline, people may be less interested in fishing overall). The price of sailing boats (choice D) would not directly affect demand for recreational fishing boats.
