Option (D) is incorrect

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is a monetary value of all finished goods produced in a country within a specific time. Purchases of capital goods are included on the GDP. More importantly, government purchases are an important aspect in the calculation of gross domestic product. Purchases of the current year are included and only purchases of previous years are excluded.
