Which of the following statements about the elasticity of demand for a monopolist is true?

a. Since a monopolist produces a good with no close substitutes, the price elasticity of demand for the good is zero.

b. A monopolist produces a good with demand that is perfectly inelastic because people cannot do without the good.

c. Since every good has some substitute, even if imperfect, the demand for a good produced by a monopolist will not have zero price elasticity.

d. Since the demand curve of a monopolist is downward sloping, the demand for the good must be inelastic.
