Explanation:

  • 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.
