The correct answer is B) increased production.
In the cartoon, the most likely effect of the woman's actions on the business cycle is increased production.
In the cartoon, we can see that the author depicts the mother opening the door of her apartment and she is holding many shopping bags as she enters the place. His son jumps, screams, and shouts "Mom bailed out the retailers!" On the other side of the room, the father is seated on his chair and suddenly turns his head over the mother's entrance, knowing he will have to pay for everything the mother bought. The father is reading a newspaper whose main title reads "recession."
So increased production is the most likely effect of the woman's actions on the business cycle.
