Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Derived demand refers to the demand for goods or services that arises not from the direct demand for the goods or services themselves but as a result of the demand for another good or service. In this case, the demand for a dog groomer by a grooming shop is a derived demand because it arises from the demand for dog grooming services by pet owners, not from a direct demand for the groomers themselves.
