The answer is D) will raise disposable income and raise spending
Explanation:
When taxes are cut disposable income increases as there is less income used to pay taxes. If there is a higher amount of disposable income available then spending will increase as well as spending appetite.

Cutting taxes can also increase aggregate demand which can lead to higher economic growth as well.
Answer:
C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.
Explanation:
Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.
Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.
Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.
So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).
