Answer: D) increase in prices</h3>
An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.
Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.
Answer: B. Fundamental weighting.
