The demand for salt by households.

उत्तर
Because households only spend a relatively small percentage of their income on salt, their demand will be inelastic without near alternatives. The consumer will continue to purchase about the same amount of salt even if the price increases because it won't have much of an impact on their budget. As a result, there is no elastic demand for these commodities.
