    Option (3) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Income elasticity of demand of watches = 0.7

    Median income in the United States rises by 10%

    Income elasticity = Percentage change in quantity demanded : Percentage change in income

    0.7 = Percentage change in demand for watches : 10

    Percentage change in demand for watches = 7%

    Therefore, the demand for watches increase by 7%.
