Answer
A
a supply curve is higher than a demand curve.
B
the supply and demand curves head down.
C
the supply and demand curves head up.
D
a supply curve and a demand curve meet.

Explanation

An equilibrium occurs where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. On a graph, that is the point where the supply curve and demand curve intersect, or meet. The direction the curves head and which curve is higher do not by themselves define equilibrium.
