Correct Option: B

The cost elasticity of supply is not a standard economic concept. The question likely intends to ask about the price elasticity of supply. This measures the responsiveness of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.

  • Price Elasticity of Supply: This is a measure of how much the quantity supplied of a good or service changes in response to a change in its price.
  • Cost of Production: Related to supply but not directly measured by elasticity.
  • Profit, Productivity, and National Income are not what elasticity of supply measures.
  • Price index is not relevant to supply elasticity.
