Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
When we talk about demand elasticity, we're looking at how much the quantity demanded of a product changes when its price changes. A situation where demand is elastic means that a small change in price leads to a big change in how much people want to buy. For example, if the price of a popular soda goes up by just a dollar, many people might decide to buy less or switch to a cheaper drink. This shows that the demand for soda is sensitive to price changes. In contrast, if the price of something essential, like medicine, changes, people might still buy the same amount, indicating inelastic demand.
Detailed Explanation
Elastic demand means that when prices go up or down, people buy a lot less or a lot more. Other options are incorrect because Inelastic demand means that price changes do not affect how much people buy very much; Unitary elasticity means that the change in demand is equal to the change in price.
