The correct answer is C. inelastic; price; quantity

The demand for vegetables is inelastic as many consumers, for health reasons prefer to eat vegetables and there are no perfect substitutes in the market. On the other hand, the high price of vegetables offset the quantity effect as farmers will still earn profit.
