The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

The federal government spending more money to build more infrastructure.

Because fiscal policy involves the use of spending or taxation by the Federal Government. During the great recession, the federal government provided tax refunds to all taxpayers and increased spending to build infrastructure. Both actions represent a form of fiscal policy.
