The answer is B because the larger (8%) change in price brought about smaller (1500 to 1492) change in quantity of good demanded.

Try calculating the elasticity with aforementioned variables,the % change in price is 8% and u can derive the % change in quantity demanded,its elasticity is still greater than one,that means its elastic
