Correct Answer: Only C correct


Solution : The coefficient of elasticity is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. As a result, two linear and parallel demand curves will have the same coefficient of elasticity, and price changes will be proportional to changes in the quantity demanded.
Hence option C is false.
