Explanation / Answer

1) d) The market value of all final goods and services produced within the borders of a country in a year adjusted for price changes. It takes into account inflation or deflation.
It is thus calculated by using a base year's prices for goods and services, and the valuation is done for constant prices.

2) c) The market value of all final goods and services produced within the borders of a country in a year, measured in today's prices.
So this GDP is evaluated at current market prices and will include all changes in market prices during the current year due to inflation or deflation.

3) c) Ensure that everyone's standard of living is equal. This helps growing economy keep pace with a growing population.
