(A) could have been caused by an increase in supply.
(B) will cause an increase in supply.
(C) will cause a smaller quantity of watermelons to be demanded.
(D) will cause demand to decrease.
(E) will cause demand to increase.

Answer 1

(E) will cause demand to increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

More persons will demand watermelons as the price decrease. That's because at lower price more people can afford watermelons.
