Answer: A. a change in the money supply changes nominal variables but not real variables

Explanation:

Neutrality of money is also referred to as neutral money, and it is an economic theory which means that the changes in the money supply can only affect the nominal variables but the real variables will not be affected.

This means that the change in money supply will affect prices and wages but the structure or the output of the economy can not be affected.
