Answer 1

1

Demand curve shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded

generally there are three types demand-

elastic demand ,inelastic and unit elastic demand

if the value of price elasticity of demand is less than 1 then the demand is considered as inelastic demand

inelastic demand is that about demand in which even there is very high change in the price can causes very low change in the quantity demand

The answer here is option B
