C. Elastic
D. Inelastic

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

maybe

As per the data provided, the supply of houses for sale would be considered

D). Inelastic

  • 'Inelastic supply' is described as the situation when the change in the price of a commodity evokes lesser responsiveness or change in its supplied quantity.
  • In the given situation, the price of the property increases by 5% while the supply changes only by 2% which implies that the supply is inelastic.
  • The first option(option A) is incorrect because unitary elastic supply implies a percentage change in price brings an equal percentage change in its supplied quantity.
  • While option C is wrong because elastic supply causes a larger change in supplied quantity with a change in its price and option B is wrong because data is provided to bring a deduction.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
