Answer 1

Answer:

A. aggregate demand intersects short-run aggregate supply

Explanation:

Short run occurs when the amount a firm wishes to supply is equal to the amount demanded from the consumers. It is the area on the graph where the aggregate demand curve intersect with the short run supply curve.

Or, simply put, when the aggregate output supplied is equal to the aggregate output demanded. The equilibrium is made up of equilibrium prices and quantity.
