Answer:

The correct option is B,$12 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for GDP given as Y = C + I + G + NX,the GDP of Sildavia is computed thus:

Y=GDP

C=Consumption of Household=$7 billion

G=Government expenditure=$3 billion

I=Investment=$3 billion

NX=Net exports(Exports-Imports)=($4-$5)=-$1 billion

Y=$7b+$3b+$3b-$1b

Y=$12 billion

The transfer does not feature in the GDP computation as it does not relate to any goods purchased
