Answer:

Elastic demand

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is described as the sensitivity of demand to changes in its price. A product is price elastic when a small change in prices causes a significant change in quantity demanded. If a small change in price results in minimal impact in quantity demanded, the product is price inelastic.

Steel mill raised its prices by 7 percent. As a result, the demand declined by 20 percent. The demand decreased by a bigger rate than the change in price. It means a small change in price causes the demand to change significantly. Therefore, the demand curve is price elastic.
