The correct answer is letter "B": The quantity demanded of hot dogs increases, and the demand for hot dog buns increases.

Explanation:

According to the demand theory, as long as the price of a product decreases the quantity demanded increases. The theory explains the relationship between the price and quantity demanded of a good or service within a market. That relationship is said to be inversely proportional.

In that case, if the price of the hot dogs is reduced by half, the quantity demanded is likely to increase. Supplementary goods such as hot dog buns are prone to see an increase in their demand.
