Consider a graph on which one good Y is on the vertical axis and the only other good X is on the horizontal axis.
 
  On this graph the income-consumption curve has a positive slope for low incomes, then it takes a zero slope for a higher income, and then it takes a negative slope for even higher incomes (the curve looks like an arc, first rising and then falling as income increases). This curve illustrates that, for all income levels, A) both X and Y are normal.
  B) only Y is normal.
  C) both X and Y are inferior.
  D) only X is normal.
