The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The aggregate demand curve shows the demand for goods and services by the economy as a whole. It comprises of consumption expenditure, government expenditure, investment expenditure, and net exports.

The aggregate demand curve in the short run is downward sloping because an increase in the price level reduces the real money holdings. It reduces purchasing power. So the amount of expenditures gets reduced as well.
