✅ The correct answer is B.
The upper portion of the kinked demand curve is relatively more elastic. The kinked-demand curve is a demand curve comprised of two segments, one that is relatively more elastic, which results if a firm increases its price, and the other that is relatively less elastic, which results if a firm decreases its price. These two segments are joined at a corner or “kink.”
