Explanation / Answer

If the economy is self regulating and in recessionary gap then..

Correct answer is option number 3: Where wages fall , hence cost of production falls and hence Aggregate supply shifts to the right making average price level to go down and finally real GDP rises.

In this way LRAS (Long run aggregate supply ) is maintained and economy achieves its original potential as it is self regulating.

Options 1 and 2 show further decrease in GDP Whereas option 4 shows opposite effects.

This is a monetarist concept.
