    A demand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B raises Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C aggregate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D likely Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘raises’ is incorrect. The verb ‘raise’ is transitive. It must have a direct object. Something raises something. Here, ‘rises’ should be used. Once demand for services rises , along with aggregate income, both demand for the labour of the rich and the business income of that group will likely return.
