Solution

Correct Option: 1

Deficit demand (deflationary gap) occurs when: (A) equilibrium output is less than full employment level, (B) AD is less than AS at full employment, (D) demand is insufficient to employ all factors, and (E) prices decline in the long run. Statement (C) that output decreases is not a defining feature - output is simply below full employment level. Hence A, B, D, E only.
