Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in the expected price of an important natural resource would shift the SRAS curve leftward, resulting in a higher price level and lower real GDP. This movement would be represented by a shift from SRAS1 to SRAS2, which is from point B to point A on the graph. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
