Answer:

The correct answer is bigger leakages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leakages mean when money leaves or exits the economy, for instance, imports. When there is a big leakage or import that amount of money goes to the other countries. That part of income is not used for further production or investment in the economy. It makes the size of multiplier smaller.

When the multiplier is smaller a greater change in spending will lead to a smaller change in the overall economic activity and vice versa.
