Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

The Taylor rule was given by economist John Taylor. It is a guideline for Federal bank to set interest rate according to changes in output, inflation, etc.  It states that the interest rate should increase with an increase in inflation and unemployment and vice versa.
