what is been asked here is concerning price elasticity of demand not income elasticity so i believe the answer should be A

The three major forms of elasticity are price elasticity of demand, cross-price elasticity of demand, and income elasticity of demand.
The four factors that affect price elasticity of demand are (1) availability of substitutes, (2) if the good is a luxury or a necessity, (3) the proportion of income spent on the good, and (4) how much time has elapsed since the time the price changed.
If income elasticity is positive, the good is normal. If income elasticity is negative, the good is inferior

This is wrong it is meant to be the price of the commodity

The answer is D becuz elasticity of demand is determined by the income of the consumer that's why we have positive and negative income of elasticity of demand.

The selected answer is wrong:

price elasticity of demand means change in price of a commodity as a result of change in it price. So the right answer should be A

The Income Of A Consumer Wil Determine The Demand Of A Commodity

Option D is the correct answer because "Income of the consumers" is one the factors affecting elasticity of demand, among it are close substitutes, habit, nature of good etc.
Note: Price of the commodity affects quantity demanded and NOT elasticity itself.
