Sol :
Option (c) is correct
[ A rise in the price of the condos in LA, a substitute for apartments ]
Because of the following reason :
Normal good has positive income effect. So , when income decreases , demand curve also shifts to the left.
An expectation that future demand for apartment will impact the supply not the demand.
The entry of new apartment complex in LA , decrease in prices of lumber will also impact the supply not the demand.
So, only option (c) is correct.
