When Indians buy foreign goods, this spending escapes as a __________ from the circular flow of income decreasing aggregate demand.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Imports represent spending by domestic residents on foreign-produced goods. This expenditure flows out of the domestic circular flow of income and does not return as demand for domestic output, so it is a leakage (withdrawal) that reduces aggregate demand. Injections, by contrast, add to the flow (e.g., exports, investment).
