Answer:

Option d (Relatively elastic) would be the correct solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The demand for some of its commodities becomes relatively elastic, i.e. the price drop contributed to a large decrease or change in the number requested, thus lowering the overall sales.
  • It could be contrasted to other options for elasticity-comparatively inelastic, completely inelastic, perfectly elastic even elastic units.

All 3 other options are not connected to the hypothetical offered. So, the option here was the best one.
