Solution

The correct option is B perfect competition

The demand curve under perfect competition is a horizontal line parallel to x-axis which means that the price of the commodity remains the same and any amount of quantity can be sold at this prevailing price in the market but a little variation in the price will lead to a fall in demand to zero. Therefore, demand is perfectly elastic in perfect competition.
