The correct answer is

Demand

In microeconomics, the relationship expressing the quantity a consumer optimally chooses to buy as a function of the good's price (other factors held constant) is called the demand function, written \(Q_d = f(P)\). It typically slopes downward (Law of Demand).

The supply function describes producers, not consumers; substitution is an effect within demand analysis; "price" is a variable, not a function.
