Correct Answer: Zero


Solution : The same quantity of items is sought at every price level when the demand curve is vertical to the axis. This further implies that a change in price has no impact on the quantity that is required. As a result, the product is quantitatively perfectly inelastic and demand elasticity is zero.
Hence option b is the correct answer.
