d. Real GDP per person will increase but productivity of that country will decrease.

Explanation:

There is a positive relationship between per capita gross domestic product and savings rate due to higher interest rates which can lead to lower consumption. The productivity of that country will decrease because there will be a lower indebtedness because there will be a higher marginal propensity to save.
