Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation: The correct answer is "Off" meaning "off-season", a period of lower demand when hotels usually charge lower room tariffs.
Peak: means high demand; tariffs are typically higher in the peak season, so this contradicts the sentence.
Off: denotes the off-season when demand and tariffs are lower — this matches the sentence and is the correct choice.
Down: not a standard term for seasons in this context; we do not commonly say "down season."
Slow: "slow season" can be used, but the standard and more idiomatic term contrasting with "peak season" is "off-season."
