Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

When demand is price inelastic (elasticity less than one), quantity demanded rises proportionately less than the fall in price, so price and total revenue move in the same direction and a price cut reduces total revenue. With elastic or perfectly elastic demand a price cut raises total revenue, and with unitary elastic demand total revenue stays unchanged.
