The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

All the national income aggregates start from GDP at market prices, the total spent on the economy’s final goods, and the others are reached from it by three conversions: domestic to national by adding net factor income from abroad (NFIA), gross to net by deducting depreciation, and market price to factor cost by deducting net indirect taxes (NIT).

(A) C + I + G + X − M — this matches (III) Gross Domestic Product at Market Prices. By the expenditure method, GDP at market prices is the sum of consumption, investment, government expenditure and net exports (exports minus imports).

(B) GDP_MP − Net indirect tax — this matches (IV) Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost. Market prices include indirect taxes and are reduced by subsidies; factor cost is the price received by the producers, so GDP at factor cost is GDP at market prices less net indirect taxes.

(C) GDP_MP + NFIA — this matches (I) Gross National Product at Market Prices. GNP covers the output of a country’s normal residents wherever they produce, so it is GDP plus the factor income residents earn abroad, less what non-residents earn in the country.

(D) GNP_MP − Depreciation — this matches (II) Net National Product at Market Prices. Going from gross to net means taking out depreciation, the part of the capital stock used up in production.
