Jair Zimmerman · Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation: In economics, derived demand is demand for a production factor or intermediate good arising from the demand for some other intermediate or final good.

In general, a company's demand for, say, a production factor depends on consumer demand for the company's product. The commodities in such a demand structure are indirectly related to each other.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B as the demand for the authors guide is directly linked to other product that is college textbooks.
