If beans are an inferior good,a decrease in income will

A) cause rice to sell at a lower price.
B) increase the production of rice.
C) shift the demand curve for rice to the left.
D) shift the demand curve for rice to the right.

When income decreases, the demand for inferior goods, such as beans, increases because people switch from more expensive alternatives to cheaper options. This does not directly affect the price, production, or demand for rice unless rice is considered a substitute or complement in this context. However, the question does not specify the relationship between beans and rice, so the most direct inference is that a decrease in income leads to increased demand for an inferior good, not directly affecting rice's demand curve position without additional context.
