Solution

Plywood and RFP are substitutes in consumption.

When two goods are substitute in consumption then increase in price of one leads to the increase in demand for other and vice-versa.

So, if the price of RFP increases then demand for plywood will increase.

Increase in demand for plywood will shift the demand curve for plywood to the right.

In figure A, demand curve is shifting to the right from D₁ to D₂.

So, figure A best illustrates the effect of this change on the market for plywood.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (1) [Figure A].
