    Option (a).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

    Real GDP = Base Year Price * Current Year Quantity

    Real GDP in 2016 = $2 * 6 million + $1 * 4 million

    = $12 million + $4 million = $16 million

    Real GDP in 2017 = $2 * 8 million + $1 * 6 million

    = $16 million + $6 million = $22 million

    According to the analysis, the real GDP in 2017 is $22 million. So (a) option is correct.
