Without seeing the actual graph, I can help you understand the possible relationships described in the answer choices:

  • A suggests a direct relationship, implying that higher prices lead to more sales, which is typically not the case for most goods.

  • B indicates that ticket sales remain unaffected by changes in price, suggesting a perfectly inelastic demand, which is uncommon.

  • C suggests an inverse relationship, indicating that as ticket prices increase, the number sold decreases, which aligns with typical market behavior for most products.

  • D indicates no clear relationship, suggesting that there isn't a consistent trend.

Given the typical behavior of demand in relation to price, option C is often the correct choice: "As ticket prices increase, the number of tickets sold decreases." However, without the graph, this is speculative. Please analyze the graph to determine which choice accurately reflects the data presented.
