    B) GDP would definitely increase because GDP excludes leisure.

    Explanation:

    The gross domestic product GDP includes the market value of all the final and legal goods and services produced within a country during one year.

    Leisure time by itself is not included in the GDP, recreational and travel activities are, e. g. hotel services, restaurants, camping equipment, etc.
