Consider the demand for shrimp shown in Figure 2. Suppose the current demand for shrimp is D (in black), the current price of a pound of shrimp is $10, and the current quantity demand of shrimp is 200K. Which of the following correctly describes an increase in the demand for shrimp, assuming the price of a pound of shrimp remains at $10?
A) The demand curve for shrimp shifts right from D to D' (blue), and the quantity demand for shrimp decreases from 200K pounds to 150K pounds.
B) The demand curve for shrimp shifts left from D to D'' (red), and the quantity demand for shrimp decreases from 200K pounds to 150K pounds.
C) The demand curve for shrimp shifts right from D to D' (blue), and the quantity demand for shrimp increases from 200K pounds to 270K pounds.
D) The demand curve for shrimp shifts left from D to D'' (red), and the quantity demand for shrimp increases from 200K pounds to 270K pounds.
