Solution

ans....
the correct option is D
Decreasing the tax or government expenditure would only result in the increase of the disposable income and this would negatively affect the situation.

Inflationary gap is situation in which the real GDP is greater than the potential GDP. So inorder to fix this a government may increase the taxes or reduce the government spending, when this action occurs the disposable income of the people will fall and the aggregate demand decreases so the AD curve will shift to the left.
