Correct Answer: Expansionary fiscal and monetary policies


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Expansionary fiscal and monetary policies

Expansionary fiscal policies involve increasing government spending and/or reducing taxes to stimulate economic activity and boost aggregate demand. This can lead to increased business investment, consumer spending, and overall economic growth, which can help create job opportunities and reduce unemployment.

Expansionary monetary policies involve actions by the central bank to lower interest rates and increase the money supply. Lower interest rates encourage borrowing and investment by businesses, which can lead to increased economic activity and job creation.
