The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
-
A) Inflationary gap → (IV) There is no unemployment or underemployment in the country. An inflationary gap arises when Aggregate Demand (AD) exceeds Aggregate Supply (AS) at the full employment level — i.e., when there is no involuntary unemployment. It leads to upward pressure on prices.
-
(B) Decline in exports → (I) A cause of deficiency of AD. Exports are a component of AD. If exports decline, AD falls, causing deficient demand.
-
(C) Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) → (II) A monetary measure to correct disequilibrium between AD and AS. CRR is a monetary policy tool used by the central bank to control money supply and adjust AD.
-
(D) Fiscal policy → (III) Pursued by the government of the country. Fiscal policy involves government taxation and spending, and is implemented by the government, not the central bank.
