Since vegetables prices are rising it is logical that prices rise when the supply is less. Therefore vegetable has become a rare commodity follows. Please discuss.

Since vegetables prices are rising it is logical that people cannot afford rising vegitable prices. Therefor people cannot eat vegitabe. Isn't it.

I am talking about conclusion II. vegitables are available but because of high price people wont eat or reduce vegitables. so only conclusion II follows beyond reasonable doubt.

Actually I did give it a thought but it just hit me tht 'prices soaring' can b due to less production of veggies or maybe corruption. I have heard more than enuf cases on it. Whereas people can not eat also implies that they are suffering from some problem or some other thing of that sort. Diseases.
So D is correct!
So D is correct!

Vegetables are becoming a rare commodity----may be because of increase in population
People cannot eat vegetables.-----can't be said because some people can afford to eat highly priced vegetables where some people can't so
I and II are both are doubtful statements

Economically speaking, a lack of quantity drives up price. In fact logically reasoning can you think of a single other way in which prices would soar?
Producers of goods experience this in the market today. If the lobster harvest in Maine is too much, the market price bottoms out and no one makes any money.
Similarly if there is a shortage of supply prices soar.
It is highly likely that most economics majors will get this question wrong because to them, me, it is illogical.
