The backward bending supply curve of labour indicates?
An abnormal supply situation
The law of supply
That labour supply and wage are directly related

Correct answer is C
The reason is that there are two effects related to determining supply. The substitution effect states that a higher wage makes work more attractive than leisure. The income effect states that a higher wage means workers can achieve a target income by working fewer hours.
Backward bending supply curve is the normal case for most workers. Most economists agree that a worker's supply curve for labour slopes upward at lower wages and bends backward at higher wages.
