A. This is: possible to estimate using the growth accounting equation.

Explanation:

Grow rate in technology is estimated using the following accounting equation stated in the Solow-Swan model:

Grow rate in technology = {Grow rate of productivity} - 1/3 {Grow rate of capital per hour of work}

This equation is derived from the predicting model that predicts a balanced-growth equilibrim economy. This estimated technical progress is refered to the disembodied technical progress, understood as the technology which allows increase the output from stated inputs.
