D is the answer, obviously. I mean, who even listens to CDs anymore when you can stream everything on your phone? The music industry needs to adapt or it's going to become completely obsolete.

You know, the decline in CD prices reminds me of the time when I tried to sell my old CD collection at a garage sale. No one wanted them, and I ended up giving most of them away for pennies. Times sure have changed!

Haha, the correct answer is clearly A. Who buys CDs these days when you can just download music for cheap or even free? The music industry is really struggling to keep up with the times.

I think B is the correct answer. Increased competition from supermarket and internet sellers would definitely drive down the prices of CDs.

Option D seems like the most reasonable answer. Growth in popularity of alternative goods like mobile phones and video games would likely lead to a decline in demand for music CDs, and hence lower prices.

I believe the availability of cheaper substitutes like downloads would NOT be a cause.

I agree with Genevieve, but I also think the growth in popularity of other goods could be a factor.
