The correct answer is letter "B": demand decreases.

Explanation:

Price skimming is a strategy that unveils a product at the highest price customers will pay for it. It aims for high profits to quickly recover development costs. The initial high price is a sign of high quality for the product, though, the price lowers as demand falls to attract more price-conscious consumers.
