Correct Answer: It measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) It measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand elasticity is a concept in economics that quantifies how sensitive the quantity demanded of a good or service is to changes in its price. It measures the percentage change in quantity demanded resulting from a percentage change in price. A high demand elasticity indicates that the quantity demanded is highly responsive to changes in price, while a low demand elasticity suggests that the quantity demanded is not very responsive to price changes.
