    Correct answer

  3. C

    High Fiscal Deficit

  4. D

    Hyperinflation

Expansionary fiscal policy (higher spending or tax cuts) requires fiscal space. A low fiscal deficit gives the government room to stimulate demand without excessive borrowing. High deficits or hyperinflation constrain fiscal expansion, while stagflation complicates its effectiveness.
