I think your answer is “B.”

If i’m correct MARK ME BRAINLIEST PLEASE!!

The answer is: b

Explanation:

Peanut butter could be classified as a necessity good depending on individual income and preferences. Your love for peanut butter indicates that you derive utility or satisfaction from consuming this good. When the price of peanuts doubles, the cost of peanut butter will also rise but the extent of the increase is ambiguous. Utility is a factor used in deriving demand, the higher the utility the higher the demand. Given that individuals have budget constraints that limit their consumption ability, a predicted rise in prices in peanut butter will increase the demand for peanut butter today as individuals attempt to maximise their utility by capitalising on the cheaper prices.
