Solution

The correct option is B rising upwards to the right
A typical demand curve have quantity in x-axis and price in y-axis. So as price increases, quantity will decrease and vice versa. So, they can be convex curves, straight lines where either price is constant or quantity is constant. But it can never be the case with rising upward to the right.
