Refer to the graph below. The economy is initially at equilibrium when AD1 and AS1 intersect. If there is cost-push inflation in the economy so that aggregate supply shifts from AS1 to AS2, then to reduce unemployment the government may increase aggregate demand which in the short run shifts:
A) AD1 to AD2, increases the price level from P1 to P2, and increases real domestic output from Q1 to Q2.
B) AD1 to AD2, increases the price level from P2 to P3, and increases real domestic output from Q1 to Q2.
C) AD1 to AD2, increases the price level from P2 to P3, and increases real domestic output from Q2 to Q1.
D) AD2 to AD1, decreases the price level from P3 to P2, and decreases real domestic output from Q1 to Q2.
