C. Sherry is overwhelmed with buyers of her peaches when she lowers their price by a penny a pound compared to other sellers in the farmers market.<br /><br />This statement is an example of perfectly elastic demand. In this case, a small change in price leads to an infinite change in quantity demanded. This means that buyers are extremely sensitive to price changes and will only purchase at a specific price. If Sherry lowers her price by just a penny, she sees a significant increase in demand, indicating that the demand for her peaches is perfectly elastic.
