    option a) 5 billion

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    GDP = $20 billion

    Cost of goods and services = $3 billion

    Tax collected = $6 billion

    Transfer payments to households = $2 billion

    Private saving in Growpaw = $4 billion

    Now,

    Disposable income = GDP - taxes + transfer payments

    =$20 billion - $6 billion + $2 billion

    = $16 billion

    Consumption = Disposable income - Savings

    = $16 billion - $4 billion

    = $12 billion

    Thus,

    Investment = GDP - consumption - government purchases

    = $20 billion - $12 billion - $3 billion

    = $5 billion

    Hence,

    the correct answer is option a) 5 billion
