Answer: C is the result of an increase in income of 4

Explanation:

When the income elasticity of a good is negative, it means that it is an inferior good because inferior goods see their quantity demanded fall when income rises and vice versa.

In this case therefore, the income must have risen for the quantity demanded to decrease.

Income = Quantity demanded / Income elasticity

= -8 / -2

= 4

Income therefore increased by 4.
