B. P* up, Q* up
Changes in the price of a substitute or complement affect demand. Changes in the price of related goods change the demand for the other related goods. A change in the price of a substitute will cause an inverse change in demand for related products, whereas a change in the price of a complement will cause a direct change in demand for related products.
