    The correct answer is Demand is inelastic, but not perfectly.

    Explanation:

    Inelastic demand is that demand that is not very sensitive to a change in price. In this way, before a variation in the price the quantity demanded reacts in a less than proportional way. For example, if the price increases by 10% and in response the quantity demanded is reduced by less than 10%, then the demand is said to be inelastic.

    The elasticity of demand, also known as the elasticity-price of demand, is defined as the percentage change of the quantity demanded before a percentage change in the price.
