    e. less than one

    Explanation:

    Price elasticity of demand refers to percentage change in quantity demanded with respect to percent change in price. It is given by the following formula:

    Price elasticity of demand = ΔQ/ΔP * P/Q

    where ΔQ = change in quantity

    ΔP = change in price

    P = Base year price

    Q = Base year quantity

    In the current case, Jason will not be much bothered by a rise in price of roses owing to the occasion wherein roses are a necessity to him. Hence his demand would be inelastic.

    An inelastic demand would lie between 0 and 1. Thus, the correct option is e. less than one
