Correct Answer: Giffen goods


Solution : The correct answer is Giffen goods .

The law of demand generally holds that when a good's price goes up, people tend to buy less of it, and when its price goes down, they buy more. However, Giffen goods stand as a unique exception to this principle. Giffen goods, while uncommon, are typically linked to essential but lower-quality products, such as basic staple foods.
