Assume the economy is in recession and real GDP is below full employment. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.90, and the government follows Keynesian economics by using expansionary fiscal policy to increase aggregate demand (total spending).

a. increase spending by $100 billion.
b. decrease spending by $790 billion.
c. increase spending by $1,000 billion.
d. increase spending by $250 billion.
