Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is (B)

Explanation:

When the demand for a good or services changes due to the change in the demand for a transitional good is called derived demand. The above case is a perfect example of a derive demand, because the demand for the uniform has changed due to the change in the demand for chemicals. A significant change in prices can occur due to a change in the demand for a derived good.
