The correct answer is letter "C": Kelvin buys more donuts at $0.80 per donut than at $0.95 per donut, other things equal.

Explanation:

The demand law states that if the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for that good or service will increase. On the other hand, if the price of a god or service increases, the quantity demanded will decrease. The price-quantity demanded of the demand law is inversely proportional, ceteris paribus.

Thus, Kelvin's case is an example of the demand law since he purchases more donuts when the price is lower ($0.80) and purchases fewer donuts when the price is higher ($0.95).
