To explain: The reason to choose the detergents to buy.

Explanation of Solution

Often it has been seen that the detergents that wash the clothes properly and have a lower price are demanded more because a rational consumer will always prefer low cost and high-quality commodity. Thus, the same case applies to the detergents, if the quality of detergent is good then the consumer will prefer to buy it because lower quality detergents may harm the color of clothes. Therefore, it will cost more than high-quality detergents if the low-quality detergents fade the color of expensive clothes. Thus, high-quality detergents that give better output will be preferred by the consumer.
