    b) lower sensitivity to changes in the interest rate

    Explanation:

    The tax cut is a renunciation that the government makes so that the money that would be collected is used by society. However, consumption and investment, which are components of aggregate demand, depend on other factors.

    The interest rate is considered the price of money since it is the remunerative factor. With money in hand, economic agents decide whether to invest money in the productive sector (consumption and investment) or in the financial sector - to earn interest. Thus, those most sensitive to changes in interest rates tend to invest money in the financial sector.
