A- Perfectly Elastic Price Elasticity Of Demand = %change in demand / %change in price, so if the value is greater than one, demand is perfectly elastic (demand is affected to a greater degree by changes in price)

C - Relatively elastic Elasticity is a measure of the sensitivity of consumer reaction to a change in the price of a good or service. If price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, a certain percentage change in price will result in a greater percentage change in the quantity demanded. In this situation, demand is said to be relatively elastic.

Answer (C - Relatively Elastic) is correct.
The price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of a change in quantity demanded to a change in the price of a product.
It equals the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
If the demand coefficient is greater than1.0, demand is elastic.
If the coefficient is less than1.0, demand is inelastic.
If the elasticity coefficient is exactly1.0, demand has unitary elasticity.
