The correct answer is D) Lower tax rates, lower resource prices, and decreased government regulation.

Explanation:

Supply-side economics policy focus on the supply. It tries to boost production so that consumer benefit from more goods at a lower price.

Supply-siders believe that lower tax rates result in more economic growth, which in turn actually increases government revenues, a theoritcal position known as the Laffer Curve.

Supply-siders also believe in deregulation. They find regulations to be an obstacle, especially for small businesses.
