Respuesta :

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Demand is perfectly elastic if it at the current price, the product is sold out but if there is a change in price demand falls to zero. the demand curve is horizontal

Demand in perfectly inelastic if there is no change in quantity demanded regardless of the change in price.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
