A.	Say's Law
B.	Griffin's Law
C.	Gresham's Law

Answer» D. Engel's Law
Explanation: According to Engel's Law, as disposable income of a consumer increases, the percentage of income spent for food decreases if all other factors remain constant. This happens even when the actual expenditure on food rises. The income elasticity of demand of food is less than 1. A lower Engel coefficient indicates a higher standard of living.
