Answer:

A) Demand would increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest rates and demand are inversely related, that is to say, if interest rates rise, demand decreases, and if interest rates go down, demand goes up.

The reason for this is that a lower interest rate means that loans are cheaper. As loans are cheaper, investments increase, and more investment means more aggregate demand because investment is one of its components.
