    b)

    Explanation:

    The demand is inelastic means that any change in the price will bring lesser proportionate change in quantity. It means that if she increases price, the quantity demanded will contract but the increase in revenue will far exceed the decrease in quantity demand. She will reach the desired revenue target (50 dollars) in a smaller period of time.
