Answer:

b) Lateral Thinking

Explanation:

Lateral thinking is the approach where creative and innovative ways are thought out. In this approach, problem solvers deliberately distance themselves from generic and classic approaches and thus try to come up with brand new ideas and not follow typical thinking patterns.

All the other options can be used to find solutions but they may not necessarily take this innovative approach.  

Hope that helps.

Damm [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

If an economy is working well below capacity this means there is huge amount of unused resources left. Resources or inputs at this point will be available at a relatively lower price. So the firms will be able to expand output at a cheaper rate.
