Which of the following factors does NOT cause a rightward shift of the demand curve?

Consider the following statements regarding the dynamics of consumer demand: Statement 1: Expansion of demand is characterized by a downward movement along an existing demand curve resulting specifically from a decrease in the price of the commodity. Statement 2: An increase in demand is represented by a rightward shift of the entire demand curve driven by non-price factors such as rising consumer income or changing preferences. Which of the following options is correct?

According to economic theory, demand curves typically have a negative slope primarily because:

Giffen's Paradox, as an exception to the law of demand, applies to which of the following categories of goods?

Which of the statements given above are correct?
