The paradox of thrift suggests that

A) "a penny saved is a penny earned."
B) as consumption increases,saving decreases.
C) the less you pay,the lower the satisfaction.
D) attempts to save more may actually reduce total saving.

The paradox of thrift is the idea that if everyone tries to save more, it could actually result in a decrease in total saving. This is because when people save more and consume less, it can lead to a decrease in aggregate demand for goods and services, which can decrease production and income. As a result, people may actually end up saving less in the long run.
