What is the supply of land for a particular use like?

Correct answer B. It will be upward sloping because as land becomes more valuable in one use, the amount of land made available for that use will increase

Explanation

Total land is fixed, but land can switch between uses such as farming and housing. If rents rise in one use, owners move land into it, so supply to that particular use slopes upward.
