The correct answer is letter "D": There is a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Explanation:

The demand law states as long as the price of a good or service increases the quantity demanded decreases and the supply curve shifts leftwards. In case the price of products decrease, the quantity demanded increase and the demand curve moves to the right. In such a scenario, the demand law studies an inverse proportional relationship between price and quantity demanded. The relationship can also be labeled as negative.
