Solution

The correct option is A price theory
Microeconomics deals with the study of individual variables like firms, workers, consumers, and investors and how they react in order to influence the price of a particular commodity in the market. The main branch of micro economics deals with the change in price of a commodity due to various market forces like quantity demanded and quantity supplied of that commodity and this price also helps us to determine factor prices. Hence microeconomics is called "Price Theory".
