    D

    Explanation:

    The word inelastic demand could be when a change in price causes a smaller percentage change in demand. It occurs where there is a price elasticity of demand (PED) of less than one.

    Goods which are price inelastic tend to have few substitutes and are considered necessities by users.

    In this case the chlorthalidone demand would not change in respect to increase in price.
