    Option (1) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Annual disposable income = $80,000

    Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8

    Autonomous consumption spending = $10,000

    Therefore,

    annual consumer spending:

    C = a + bY

    Where,

    a = Autonomous consumption spending

    b = Marginal propensity to consume

    Y = Annual disposable income

    C = $10,000 + (0.8 * $80,000)

    = $10,000 + $64,000

    = $74,000
