    The answer will be A

    Explanation:

    As the social security contributions and benefits remain the same in proportion, personal and national income will remain the same.

    As disposable income is defined as personal income-personal taxes, and the personal income taxes fall by 500 million (included in the contibutions), this would mean that the disposable income increases.
