Answer:

2. Only counting final goods

Explanation:

When defining national income accounting and terminolgies, emphasis is always laid on "...total value of FINAL goods...". This is as a result of avoiding double counting. If intermediate goods were counted alongside final goods, it would be double counting because intermediate goods are used in producing those final goods. Final goods are good meant for final consumption. The other method used in avoiding double counting ( counting of the value of the same product more than once) apart from counting final gooda is Value added approach.
