Definitely B, inelastic demand means price changes affect revenue more.

Not sure about that, can we really say inelastic is always the biggest effect?

Wait, isn't D a bit extreme? Perfectly elastic sounds unrealistic.

I recall discussing unit price elasticity in class, but I can't remember how it affects shifts in supply. I guess it could be C, but I'm not confident.

I feel like I read that perfectly elastic demand means any price change leads to infinite changes in quantity. So maybe D is the right choice?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where a shift in supply had a bigger impact when demand was elastic. Could it be A?

I think the answer might be B, since inelastic demand means consumers won't change their quantity much with price changes.
