Letter B is correct.

Explanation:

GDP is the sum of all that is produced, consumed and distributed in the country over a period of one year. This is the main measure for assessing and comparing one economy with others in the world. There are two approaches to measuring GDP, namely: Expenditure Approach and Income Approach. Demand for consumption, exports and imports and government spending is represented by the expenditure approach. The income approach is all income earned from everything that is produced in the economy.
