Answer:

If the price of a good is raised and total revenue does not change, demand is perfectly elastic ( D )

Explanation:

An elastic demand is a type of demand for a good or service that changes with changes in price of goods and services and also with changes in purchasing power of the customer while an inelastic demand is a type of demand for gods and services that is constant regardless of changes in prices and purchasing power of the customer.

if the price of a good is raised and the total revenue ( purchasing power ) does not change demand will definitely change ( perfectly elastic )
