In the above diagram, if curve IC represents income - consumption curve, then it means that :
To solve this question, we need to understand the concept of an income-consumption curve and how it relates to normal and inferior goods.
The Income-Consumption Curve (ICC) shows the combination of goods that a consumer would buy when their income changes, with prices held constant. The shape of the ICC can help identify whether a good is normal or inferior:
In the given diagram, the ICC curve starts upward and then bends back, indicating that as income increases, the consumption of Good A decreases at some point, showing the characteristic of an inferior good.
Conclusion: Based on the shape of the ICC, only Good A becomes an inferior good at higher levels of income. Thus, the correct answer is: Only (A) is an inferior good.
