If nominal GDP in 2005 is higher than in 2004, what can be concluded about output?

Correct answer C. It may have risen, fallen or stayed the same, because there is not enough information to determine what happened to real output

Explanation

Nominal GDP can rise because of higher prices alone, so without adjusting for inflation it is impossible to tell whether real output rose, fell or stayed the same.
