Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
When a relevant variable not named on the axes changes, it affects the entire relationship represented by the curve, leading to a shift of the curve, rather than a movement along the curve or a rotation. This is because the change in the external variable alters the conditions under which the curve was originally drawn.
