    B) less than $750.00 billion.

    Explanation:

    Crowding-out refers to a situation where private consumption and investment are lowered because government spending uses available financial resources and increases interest rates.

    Crowding-out is the result of a government having to borrow money or increase taxes in order to increase spending.
