Solution

The correct option is A True
True.
The price will remain unchanged under a perfectly elastic supply curve, no matter demand increases or decreases. This is because supply responds proportionately to the increase or decrease in demand, i.e., it only changes on the quantity axis, while, it is static on the price axis at a given price.
