Which of the following factors could cause a change in the quantity demanded?

a. Change in income
b. Change in consumer preferences
c. Change in price
d. Change in price of substitute good

1 answer

The factor that could cause a change in the quantity demanded is:

c. Change in price

A change in price leads to a movement along the demand curve, which is referred to as a change in the quantity demanded. The other factors listed (change in income, change in consumer preferences, change in price of substitute good) would cause a shift in the demand curve itself, resulting in a change in demand rather than a change in the quantity demanded.
