Answer:

The correct answer is c. incorrect because wages and prices tend to be highly inflexible downward.

Explanation:

When there is unemployment the demand curve slopes downwards but wages and prices are inflexible downwards. The above statement is therefore incorrect because the wages and prices are highly inflexible and the workers may not be willing to work for a lower pay. This is highly dynamic and depends on the workers choices and needs.
