    The correct option is C

    Explanation:

    Provided rise in price increases the revenue from muffin.

    That is by $35,000 to $38,000

    Rates per muffin = $2 to $3 revised.

    Demand at price of $2 = $35,000/$2 = 17,500 units

    Demand at price of $3 = $38,000/$3 = 12,667 units approximately

    Thus, with increase in price the demand gets to fall in number, though the revenue has increased.

    Since the price is increasing by $1 per unit, thus the range is unit elastic.

    The correct statement is C
