    C) marginal revenue in the price-elastic market exceeds marginal revenue in the price-inelastic market

    Explanation:

    Marginal revenue will increase as the price elasticity of demand increases. When marginal revenue is positive, the demand is elastic, when marginal revenue is negative, the demand is inelastic.

    Therefore if the company sets the same price for different markets, the marginal revenue will be higher where the price elasticity of demand is higher (more elastic). But it will be lower where the price elasticity of demand is lower (more inelastic).
