Read the paragraph.

My sister Grace and I like to make bead bracelets. We always receive compliments on the bracelets we make, so we decided to make 20 bracelets to sell for $3 each. People were so eager to buy the bracelets that our supply quickly ran out. In fact, demand for the bracelets was so great that we couldn’t make them fast enough to fill the orders we received.

What is the most likely meaning of demand?

A. the competition among products
B. the total number of products available
C. the desire to buy a product
D. the cost of materials to make a product
