Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pricing method described here is based on demand, as the rates vary depending on the time of day (demand fluctuations) and distance of the call. This is also known as distance-sensitive pricing or peak/off-peak pricing. The other options (geographic, odd, discriminatory, segmented) do not accurately describe the pricing method in question.
