Correct Answer: perfectly inelastic


Solution : The correct answer is perfectly inelastic .

Where supply is fully inelastic, any factor of production can generate economic rent. Economic rent is the remuneration received by a component of production that exceeds its potential cost. The value of the next best alternative use of the component of production is referred to as the opportunity cost. When a factor of production's supply is perfectly inelastic, the quantity provided does not fluctuate in response to price fluctuations. This signifies that the factor of production is limited and difficult to replace.
