The correct answer is letter "A": If a business raises it prices, will that have a large or small on demand?

Explanation:

Elasticity is a measure of a variables' reaction to a change in another variable. It can describe the extent to which the supply or demand for a good or service changes with the price of goods or consumer income. When an item has many possible substitutes, its demand will be more elastic.
