Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
If aggregate production in the economy exceeds aggregate purchases, then unplanned inventory investment is positive. This means that businesses have produced more goods than there is demand for, resulting in excess inventory. As a result, they will need to decrease production or increase sales to balance inventories.
