    Normally, the price of elasticity of demand is a negative value showing that for each rise of demand, the price also rises. In this case, since it is a non-negative value, we expect that as the quantity demanded increases, the price decreases. Thus, for an increase of 1 in the price, the quantity demanded falls 2.3.

    The correct answer for this would be letter C.
