The correct answer is option 2: Rightward shift
- An increase in demand means that at every price level, consumers are willing to buy more than before.
- This causes the demand curve to shift to the right because higher demand leads to higher quantity demanded at the same price.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
- Leftward shift → Incorrect, because a leftward shift represents a decrease in demand, not an increase.
- Shift towards origin → Incorrect, as demand does not move towards the origin when it increases.
- No shift → Incorrect, because an increase in demand always causes the demand curve to shift.
