What happens to the price of a agricultural product when demand exceeds supply?

A.

The price fluctuates randomly

B.

The price decreases

C.

The price remains unchanged

D.

The price increases

Correct answer is D

In economics, when demand exceeds supply, it creates a shortage. The price of the product will increase until the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied, a state known as equilibrium. This is because the high demand and low supply create a competitive market where buyers are willing to pay more to secure the product.
