Answer: Keynesian economic theory suggests "D. Short-term increases in government spending to stimulate the economy".

Explanation: Keynesian economic theory focused on the analysis of the causes and consequences of the variations in aggregate demand and its relations with the level of employment and income. Keynes' final interest was to try to provide national or international institutions with power to control the economy in times of recession or crisis. This control was exercised through government spending, that is, fiscal policy to stimulate the economy.
