A to B

The expansionary monetary policy will increase the consumer demand and shift the Aggregate demand curve from A to B

3) Option A

A to B

The decrease in taxes will increase the consumer disposable income and the shift the Aggregate demand curve from A to B

4) Option E

A to E

when no policy is persued the aggregate supply curve will move from A to E

5) Option C

C to D

6) option B

C to B
