Answer: The correct answer is "The increase in quantity sold is large enough to offset the lower price.".

Explanation: When demand is elastic, the increase in quantity sold is large enough to offset the lower price.

Elastic demand is that market demand that varies according to what happens in the price of a product, resulting in a proportional change in the quantity demanded.

That is, if the price of the product falls, the number of the demand goes up, for this reason it is called elastic demand.
