Solution

The elasticity of demand for a product will be higher:

  1. The more available are substitutes for that product: This is because if there are many substitutes for a product, consumers can easily switch to another product if the price of the original product increases. This makes the demand for the product more elastic.

  2. The more its buyers demand loyalty: This statement is not typically associated with higher elasticity. In fact, it's usually the opposite. If buyers are loyal to a product, they are less likely to switch to a substitute if the price of the product increases, making the demand inelastic.

  3. The more the product is considered a necessity by its buyers: This is also not typically associated with higher elasticity. Necessities are goods that people need to survive, like food and water. People will buy these goods no matter how much they cost, so the demand is inelastic.

So, the correct answer is "The more available are substitutes for that product".
