A decrease in the population of the city
B
A decrease in the price of pizza
C
An increase in the price of soda, a complement to pizza
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a rightward shift in the demand curve means an increase in demand at every price level.
Recall that a change in the price of the good itself (pizza) causes a movement along the demand curve, not a shift of the demand curve.
Recognize that a decrease in the population of the city would reduce the number of buyers, shifting demand to the left, not right.
Know that an increase in the price of a complement (like soda) typically decreases the demand for the related good (pizza), shifting demand to the left.
Identify that an increase in consumer income increases demand for a normal good, shifting the demand curve for pizza to the right.
