Decrease in supply will lead to an increase in price of tomatoes. If an increase in price leads to increase in the revenues for the farmer we can safely say that the demand for tomatoes is price inelastic. If the price elasticity is less than one or the demand is inelastic, a price fall will lead to fall in revenues and increase in price will lead to increase in revenues.
The correct option is that the demand for tomatoes is price inelastic.
