Supply-side factors such as input costs, production technology, taxes on producers, and the number of firms in the market.
B
Changes in the price of the good itself, causing movements along the demand curve, seasonal variations, and short-term availability.
C
Changes in consumer income, tastes/preferences, prices of related goods (substitutes and complements), expectations about the future, number of buyers (population), and government policies/advertising.
D
Only changes in consumer tastes and advertising; other factors (like income or related goods' prices) only affect the quantity demanded, not the demand curve.

Understand that the demand curve represents the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded, holding all other factors constant.
Recognize that a shift in the demand curve means that at every price, the quantity demanded changes, which is different from a movement along the demand curve caused by a price change.
Identify the key factors that cause the demand curve to shift: changes in consumer income, tastes and preferences, prices of related goods (substitutes and complements), expectations about future prices or income, the number of buyers in the market, and government policies or advertising.
Distinguish these demand-shifting factors from supply-side factors (like input costs or number of firms) and from changes in the good's own price, which cause movements along the curve rather than shifts.
Summarize that only changes in the factors listed in step 3 will shift the demand curve, while changes in the good's price cause movement along the curve, and supply-side factors affect the supply curve instead.
