CORRECT ANSWER IS 'D".AS THERE ARE NO good substitutes available for the product.. ONE HAS TO BUY IT AT ANY PRICE. HENCE THE DEMAND IS PRICE INELASTIC. DEMAND WILL REMAIN THE SAME AT ANY PRICE.

Subhranshu Ganguly · Answer

The demand for an essential products like, salt,medicine tends to be inelastic. Change of price would have no effect on demand for the product.

Arun Philip · Answer

Traditional response would be A - luxury item.
However, in the current market scenario even luxury brands are rethinking and revitalizing their pricing and branding policies opting to provide more 'bang for the high paying customers' buck'.
A perfectly inelastic demand could only arise from a commodity that has direct correlation to customer's burning need.
(E.g.
drugs for terminal patients, FMCGs in impoverished commodities, addicts and drugs etc.
