The second alternative is correct (B).

Consumer behavior is studied by classical microeconomic theory. Basically, the consumer is influenced by their preferences and the price of the goods and services offered in an economy.

If the price of a good is high, demand decreases. If the price is low, demand increases. If consumers get the information that the price of the good will increase in the future, consumers will anticipate and buy more of the good in the present, before the price increase. Therefore, the demand for the good will increase.
