The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Consumer spending refers to the expenditure of households on consumer goods and services. The aggregate consumer spending depends upon the disposable income of the consumer, the real interest rate, consumer optimism and wealth.

Consumer spending is positively related to disposable income, consumer optimism and wealth. The real interest rate is inversely related to consumer spending.
