Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The assumption that consumers' wants originate in their personality is consistent with the theory of consumer demand, as is the assumption that the urgency of wants does not diminish as more are satisfied. The assumption that socialism will work in all societies, however, is not related to the theory of consumer demand and is a separate economic and political issue.
