The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.

In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.

The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.
