Correct Answer: -25%


Solution : The correct answer is  (c) -25%

Initial Quantity Demanded = 80 units

New Quantity Demanded = 60 units

Using the formula, we can calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = [(New Quantity Demanded - Initial Quantity Demanded) / Initial Quantity Demanded] * 100

                                      = [(60 - 80) / 80] * 100

                                      = (-20 / 80) * 100

                                      = -25%

The correct percentage change in quantity demanded is -25%.

Therefore, the answer is:  -25%
