Justice Graham · Answer 1

The correct answer is (B)

Explanation:

Liquidity preference theory emphasised on the interest which investors should demand on long-term investments due to the risk they carry. According to liquidity preference theory, a decrease in the price level shifts the money demand curve leftward. A leftward movement of the money demand curve increases the overall quantity demanded. In that regard, a decrease in interest rate increases the demand for goods and services demanded.
