Answer:

B

Explanation:

Inferior good is a good whose demand decreases when income increases

The substitution effect looks at the change in price of a good relative to other goods.  When the price of good x increases, rob should increase consumption of good y and reduce that of good x if it were a normal good

The income effect looks at how a change in price affects real disposable income
