Answer:

D. ​Actually, average revenue is always equal to​ price, whether demand is downward sloping or no

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because Average revenue is the amount of revenue that is obtained by selling an addition unit of output. This additional revenue is always = Price as proven by the equation below,

Total Revenue = Price * Quantity

Thus, AR = Total Revenue / Quantity

Input elements of the Total revenue we get,

AR = Price * Quantity / Quantity

AR = Price

Hope that helps.
