    C. $10 billion

    Explanation:

    The computation of the full increase in real GDP is presented below:

    Given that

    Increase in government spending = $2 billion

    MPS = 0/2

    We know that

    Multiplier = One : MPS

    = 1 : 0.2

    = 5

    So, the full increase in real GDP would be

    = Multiplier * increase government spending

    = 5 * $2 billion

    = $10 billion
