Answer:
The correct answer is C) The slope of the supply of loanable funds curve represents the <em>negative relation between the real interest rate and investment. </em>
Explanation:
Some government policies, such as investment tax credits, basically lower the cost of borrowing money at every real interest rate. Such policies make investing attractive and would increase the demand for loanable funds. Other policies, such as budget deficits, might increase the demand for loanable funds.
