Answer 1

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the mainstream business cycle theory, the potential GDP grows at a steady rate while the aggregate demand grows at a fluctuating rate. The money wage rate is considered to be sticky.

So when aggregate demand increases more than the potential GDP, the supply is not able to increase as much as demand. This creates an inflationary gap in the economy.
