Respuesta :

Answer: Option C

                                     

Explanation: In simple words, inelastic demand refers to a situation when the demand of the buyer does not change as per the price of the commodity. Thus, the price does not increase or decrease with decrease or increase in demand.

Hence the farmers should decrease the supply as there would be no profit for them to supply a product that has an inelastic demand.
