Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Complementary goods are those goods that are used together, such as cars and gasoline, or computers and software. When the price of a complementary good increases, the demand for the other complementary good decreases, and the demand curve shifts to the left. In this case, since good J and good Z are complements, if the price of good J increases, the demand for good Z will decrease, and the demand curve for good Z will shift to the left.

If good J and good Z are complements and the price of good J increases,the demand curve for good Z will

A) shift to the left.
B) become horizontal.
C) not change.
