### Graph (A):
- **Supply and Demand Curves**: The supply curve (S) is upward sloping, and the demand curve shifts from D1 to D2.
- **Movement**: The demand curve shifts to the left (D1 to D2), indicating a decrease in demand.
### Graph (B):
- **Supply and Demand Curves**: The supply curve (S) is upward sloping, and the demand curve shifts from D1 to D2.
- **Movement**: The demand curve shifts to the right (D1 to D2), indicating an increase in demand.
### Graph (C):
- **Supply and Demand Curves**: The demand curve (D) is downward sloping, and the supply curve shifts from S1 to S2.
- **Movement**: The supply curve shifts to the left (S1 to S2), indicating a decrease in supply.
### Graph (D):
- **Supply and Demand Curves**: The demand curve (D) is downward sloping, and the supply curve shifts from S1 to S2.
- **Movement**: The supply curve shifts to the right (S1 to S2), indicating an increase in supply.
