Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of change in quantity demanded with any change in the price level.

Elasticity of demand:

= (change in quantity ÷ old quantity) ÷ (change in price ÷ old price)

=[(12 - 8) ÷ 8] ÷ [($3 - $2.25) ÷ $3]

= 0.5 ÷ 0.25

= 2

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is 2.
