    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Cross-price elasticity between Good A and Good B = - 1.5

    Percentage change in quantity demanded of Good B = 15 percent

    Cross-price elasticity = Percentage change in quantity demanded of Good B : Percentage change in the price of Good A

    -1.5 = 15 : Percentage change in the price of Good A

    Percentage change in the price of Good A = 15 : (-1.5)

    = - 10 percent
