An aggregate demand curve slopes downward against prices because
A) the quantity demanded almost always falls as the price climbs.
B) increases in the price level effectively reduce the real money supply and thereby increase interest rates, lower investment, and cause GDP to contract.

D) reductions in the price level increase real GDP by the simple algebra of dividing nominal GDP by a price level.
E) none of the above.
