Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
1) The demand curve has negative slope showing inverse relationship between price and the quantity demanded- this is a correct statement as the price rises, demand falls and when the price falls, demand rises.
2) This applies to Giffen goods- this is a false statement since the law of demand does not apply to Giffen goods. The assertion is applicable to normal goods.
