If the change in demand of a commodity is in proportion to the change in its price, then it is called

Unit elasticity
Less than unit elasticity
Perfectly elastic
Perfectly inelastic

The correct answer is A. Unit elasticity.

Unit elasticity of demand is a situation where the percentage change in the quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in the price. This means that a 1% increase in price will lead to a 1% decrease in demand, and vice versa.

Option B, less than unit elasticity, is a situation where the percentage change in the quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in the price. This means that a 1% increase in price will lead to a less than 1% decrease in demand, and vice versa.

Option C, perfectly elastic, is a situation where the quantity demanded is infinitely responsive to changes in price. This means that even a small change in price will lead to a large change in demand.

Option D, perfectly inelastic, is a situation where the quantity demanded is not responsive to changes in price. This means that even a large change in price will not lead to a change in demand.
