Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of complements in microeconomics: Complements are goods that are typically consumed together, so that an increase in the consumption of one good leads to an increase in the consumption of the other.
Analyze each option to see if it is commonly used or consumed together with coffee:
Tea is generally considered a substitute for coffee, not a complement, because people usually choose one or the other.
A coffee mug is a good that is used to consume coffee, so it can be considered a complement because it facilitates drinking coffee.
Sugar is often added to coffee to enhance its taste, making it a classic example of a complement to coffee.
Orange juice is typically consumed separately from coffee and does not complement it in consumption.
