The scenario that best explains how changes in supply and demand affect changes in labor is:

The Doggie Spaw gets 15 new customers each week, so the owner hires two more dog groomers to meet the change in demand.

This situation illustrates a direct response to an increase in demand by increasing the labor supply (hiring more groomers) in order to meet that demand.
