    Answer: Option (c) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Crowding out is a situation where the personal consumption and private investment are reduced because of the increase in government spending and this results in higher interest rate.

    This is caused by an expansionary fiscal policy that is financed either by increasing taxes or borrowing or both.

    So, this expansionary fiscal policy shifts the IS curve rightwards, which raises the interest rate and reduced private investment.

    Explanation:

    The term crowding out refers to a situation of increased interest rates and a decrease in private investment.
