-
- ralatively elastic
- perfectly inelastic
- perfectly elastic
- of unitary elasticity

Correct Option: C
The demand curve facing a perfectly competitive firm is flat or horizontal. This is because all firms in perfect competition are by definition selling an identical (homogeneous) product. A horizontal demand curve is a flat curve with a slope of zero. It is a perfectly elastic demand curve. Because the slope of the curve is zero, it is impossible for the price to change in the market.
