Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Relatively or fairly inelastic demand is one where the percentage change in demand is less than the percentage change in the price of a product. This means, a change in price will lead to a lesser change in the quantity demanded.

An indirect tax is a tax levied on goods and services. The consumer will bear the extra cost of such goods, because a rise in its price will lead to a lesser change in the quantity the consumers are willing to buy.
