Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

it is in perfectly competitive markets that demand is perfectly elastic
