d. ad does not change.

Explanation:

Aggregate demand is defined as the total demand for finished products that is produced by a country. It is also called effective demand

In this instance aggregate demand will be a sum of demand for both computers and fighter jets. If the government decides to spend on fighter jets instead of computers, the aggregate demand will not change since it is total demand of both proucts.
