A) demand curve as being of unit elasticity throughout.
B) supply curve as kinked,being steeper below the going price than above.
C) demand curve as kinked,being steeper below the going price than above.
D) demand curve as kinked,being steeper above the going price than below.

Kinked Demand Curve

A demand curve in oligopolistic market structures characterized by a distinct bend or kink at the current price; it reflects that price increases by one firm will not be followed by others, while price decreases will be.

Price Cut

A reduction in the selling price of products or services, often used as a strategy to increase consumer demand or compete more effectively.
