Correct answer: A. increase price but not output
- A. increase price but not output

- D. decrease output and price
Explanation
With totally inelastic aggregate supply, output is fixed regardless of aggregate demand. An increase in aggregate demand therefore raises the price level without increasing real output.

The more specific you are, the faster it gets fixed. A source beats an opinion.
