Solution

This statement is false.

Explanation:

  • A horizontal straight line demand curve represents perfectly elastic demand, where price elasticity of demand is infinity.
  • At a given price, demand is infinite, and even a slight rise in price reduces demand to zero.
  • So demand changes drastically with a change in price, not remains unchanged.
