B. People cannot quit drinking coffee even though they want to cut down on caffeine intake.

Explanation:

Inelastic demand happens when people purchase the same amount of a product or the same service without paying attention to whether the price rises or drops. For example, car owners must buy gas, no matter the prices. They will buy what they need.
