A.

As full employment is approached, resources start to become scarce and firms will compete over them, such as raw materials, labor, etc. As a result, wages and costs will be pushed up and prices will start to rise, whereas output will start increasing at a smaller rate then completely stop and be horizontal, as that is then full employment.
