Solution

The supply of rental accommodation in the short run tends to be C. very or completely price inelastic. This is because the quantity of rental accommodation available cannot be quickly or easily changed. It takes time to build new houses or apartments, and it's not possible to create more land in desirable locations. Therefore, even if prices increase, the quantity of rental accommodation available does not significantly change in the short run.
