Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Bear Corporation's total spending on machine parts increases after a price decrease, indicating that the quantity demanded increases by a proportion greater than the price decrease. This behavior is characteristic of price elastic demand, where the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price.
