Solution

The correct option is A True

Negative income elasticity of demand is associated with inferior goods; an increase in income will lead to a fall in the demand and may lead to changes to more luxurious substitutes.
Examples include the demand for cigarettes, air conditioner and the demand for council-owned properties.
