    B. The elasticity of demand is - 0.126

    Explanation:

    % Change in Quality demand = - 2.65% (this is negative because of drop in prenatal smoking)

    % Change in price = 21%

    Elasticity of demand is given by the formula below:

    Elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded : %change in price

    Elasticity of demand = - 2.65 / 21

    Elasticity of demand = - 0.126
