Answer 1

Answer: GDP data that has been adjusted for changes in the price level

Explanation:

Real GDP refers to the Nominal GDP adjusted for inflation. Nominal GDP calculates the value of final goods and services in the Economy by using the price levels of that year so if inflation has occurred, comparing it to previous years would be inaccurate.  

The Real GDP would use the price levels of a base year to calculate the GDP of the current year so that the effect of inflation may be negated and the real growth of the economy can be seen.
