A) both the classical dichotomy and the quantity theory of money.
B) the classical dichotomy, but not the quantity theory of money.
C) the quantity theory of money, but not the classical dichotomy.
D) neither the classical dichotomy nor the quantity theory of money.

Classical Dichotomy

The theoretical separation of nominal and real variables in classical economics, implying that monetary changes do not affect real economic variables.

Quantity Theory

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Both the classical dichotomy and the quantity theory of money suggest that changes in nominal variables (like the price level or nominal GDP) are primarily influenced by changes in the money supply and the operation of the monetary system. The classical dichotomy separates real and nominal variables, assuming nominal variables are influenced by the money supply, while the quantity theory directly links money supply changes to price level changes (nominal variable changes).
