Increase

Correct answer is D
If the demand for a good is elastic, the producer revenue will reduce. This is because, when there is an increase in price it will lead to a decrease in the quantity demanded, consumers would most likely move on to consume a substitute, hence the producer of that product would loose revenue as a result of a drop in sales.
