Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The most likely case to occur based on the concept of price elasticity of demand is when a producer lowers prices for a certain group of consumers with low-income, since they are highly sensitive to price changes and are likely to respond positively to a price cut. The other options may not be as successful, as golfers and moviegoers may still be willing to pay higher prices during certain times, and airlines may have less elasticity with business travelers who are less price-sensitive due to their need to travel for business purposes.
