Answer: d. is elastic.

Explanation:

A good is said to be elastic when its price elasticity of demand is greater than one.

Price elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded as a result of a change in price.

Formula is:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price

Percentage change in price = (100 - 120) / 120 = -16.7%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (13 - 10) / 10 = 30%

Price elasticity of demand = 30% / -16.7%

= -1.8

Price elasticity of demand is greater than the number 1 so this is elastic.
