Correct Statement is D

Explanation:

Provided information,

The Jewelry Store sells pair of earrings, where the discount is of 15% on the price of second pair.

This states that the consumer will always be willing to pay the cost of first pair in full, whenever the customer buys such pair, whether alone or with some additional pair.

Thus the willingness to pay for any pair after purchase of first pair of earrings will always be less than the cost of first pair, as the amount paid for first pair is $40 and that for second pair costing $40 but purchased for $34 as because there was discount on second pair.

In the given case John purchased the second pair because there was discount, else John has bought the same pair for $40.

Thus his willingness for second pair is always lower than the price of first pair.
