Solution
The correct option is C Equal to zero The price elasticity of demand for the monopolist's product is less than one. Hence, in the monopoly market, the monopolist faces a downward-sloping demand curve. In the monopoly market as there are no close substitutes, therefore, the cross elasticity of demand for such a product is zero.
