Ali Brandt · Answer 1

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The quantity on the import demand curve shows the difference between the quantity demanded by the domestic consumers and the quantity that is being supplied by the domestic producers at every price.

At the current price level, if the quantity supplied by the producers is less than what consumers are demanding, the consumers will purchase the excess amount from foreign producers.
