Answer:

D. final sales ignores changes in​ inventory, which are included in GDP calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Final sales is GDP minus net exports and inventory investment. It measures demand for goods and services from US households, businesses and government, regardless of whether those goods and services are imported or domestically produced.
